Moralogous

Where morality meets culture

life-intact asked: Moralagous, I reblogged the statement "FIGHT ME" from a mother, so by all means, you should change the gender of your reblog of my reblog... Thanks in advance from a fellow intactivist!

As Homer would say, “D’oh!”  Thank you for the clue.

Botched Circumcisions: If I was having a son he would be circumcised.

I think he should change his title to “I want to mutilate my child so I can find my child’s genitals sexually appealing.”

FIGHT ME.

I don’t want to fight you, and the last thing I want is to escalate some drama. Instead, I’ll leave just the following information:

It becomes exceedingly difficult to defend circumcision when we call it what it is:

Infant.

Genital.

Cutting.

It is what it…

Hubby has a crush on Lady Mary but I don’t think I can reciprocate with a crush on Matthew.

I’m so tired of this argument.  So so tired.  Is there some “genital mutilation severity” contest out there that I’m not aware of?  Cutting an infant or child’s genitals is wrong wrong wrong, no matter their sex or how much tissue is removed, period.  If you think that FGM is only to kill their sex lives and they hate it, and MGM is innocuous and sexually appealing, then you’re a fucking ignorant idiot.  HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO NNOT CUT OFF PART OF A BABY’S GENITALS YOU FUCKING PERVERTS?

“It still enrages me that some people still even dare to compare male and female circumcision when arguing against male circumcision. As if cutting off the labia, clitoris and sewing the vagina up so that no pleasure can be felt during sex whatsoever and…

I did an internship on the maternity floor of a hospital a few years ago because I thought I wanted to be an OB nurse.  The nurses and doctors treated those babies like products.  It was like an assembly line.  You know how on TV they show the nursery in the hospital as this big room of babies all perfectly lined up with their names on the cribs?  Yea no. It’s more like a damn jail cell. And the babies are just in these lil plastic cribs that look more like bins, wrapped in blankets, and just everywhere. I went into this “nursery” and there were like 15 babies just in this room, all over the place.  The only way you knew whose baby was because they had a name tag on the babies ankle right. But the newborn boys….omg. They had them lined up in their little bins on the wall and I watched as one by one a doctor and a fucking resident (who had no fucking clue what she was doing) circumcised them all.  It was horrifying.  They strapped their arms and legs down, and went to work on these babies private parts while they are literally screaming their heads off.  So the fuck what if they don’t remember being tortured when they get older!! That shit is horrible. HORRIBLE. A few of the nurses even told me, “I can’t even believe you watched the whole thing. When I have kids none of my boys will get circumcised.”  Not to mention the fact that when I did rounds with some of the nurses for after birth care, some of the babies are in such shock from being circumcised they don’t eat, they don’t urinate because it burns, and are somewhat lethargic for the first 12 hours after the circumcision happens.  Some of the mom’s were freaking out.  Asking “is this normal, my baby isn’t eating”.  Well you chopped his lil pee pee off, what do you expect? The nurses would feed them bullshit like “Oh that’s normal!  He’s just a little upset about the circumcision.”  I was in shock.  Horrified. is the only word that I can use to describe watching that shit.  

Long story short: My children will not be getting circumcised under my watch. Ever.

Never ever ever ever ever ever would I get my baby boy circumcised. I honestly cannot believe that people still do that today, or that they ever did that! Most people I know with circumcised sons did it because of religious reasons. So basically they’re telling me that God created boys with foreskins but immediately wants them to be cut off, what? We need laws protecting baby boys from this ridiculous surgery.
