Not trying to deny anyone anything. Rather, I'm trying to prevent boys from being denied a healthy part of their own bodies.
Since one can't know or control if a particular infant will object as I always have, infant circumcision is wrong unless absolutely medically needed. #i2

Infant circumcision is particularly insidious because the individual never had the opportunity to compare. Like being color blind or deaf all your life. The body compensates as best it can, but you really can't know what you are missing.

The body does compensate and most men who are circumcised never know the difference. America ranks with its competitors in terms of sexual fulfillment, our boys don’t seem to miss what they never had.

What they never *knew they had. As I've stated before, the more a man learns about the structures and functions lost during circumcision, the more likely he is to be unhappy about it.

Perhaps in your experience, but that hasn’t translated into real numbers yet.

So we should continue to violate the bodily autonomy of men until what.. ? What's done is done. All I'm interested in is getting it to stop. I left my boys intact, and the statistics suggest they will be happy that way all their lives.

There’s no statistics that suggest that cut men are unhappy. Men will make decisions as fathers as to if they will leave their child intact if they feel their autonomy was violated by their parents.

Do we need 'statistics that prove blind men are not unhappy' to prove why we shouldn't deliberately gouge the eyes of babies out? Absurd.

When asked, circ men report either majority positive or mostly neutral. Few are dissatisfied.

The extent you have gone to defend this barbaric practice - the fallacies, the red herrings, the passive aggressiveness - makes me think you are a mother who can’t accept the fact that you have irrevocably wronged your son.

Bingo. And see her response to this - she is completely in denial about nearly all aspects of #FGM & #MGM, which only further proves our points.
