Circumcision is evil.

 

Imagine if you will a small baby boy just born today. He is perfectly healthy and there’s no issues at all. A doctor or a nurse would take the baby away and have him completely naked. He’s then strapped into a circumstraints. His arms and legs tied down. His penis exposed to the world.

The doctor gets the baby’s penis hard and then pries the foreskin apart, tearing it from the glans it was sealed to. The baby screaming bloody murder. Then the doctor inserts a metal tube into his foreskin and pressing it against the glans, tying the base end of the foreskin and then crushing the foreskin and cutting it off. The baby who is still screaming and screaming then passes out in shock.

Then the doctor or the nurse brings back the baby to the parents, “your baby slept through the whole thing.” Clearly lying.

Then with the foreskin (some claim to just throw it away) but some doctors sell it for profit.

100 baby boys die each year from circumcision. Most of Europe and Asia do not circumcise baby boys or girls. Just Jews, Muslims and America that does this. There are zero reasons to circumcise them. But we spent many years circumcising baby boys in America (as well as girls until 1997 which then FGM is wrong and illegal). Circumcision was practiced thousand years ago as blood sacrifice. It wasn’t originally done for hygienic reasons, it was done as a religious practice. Nowadays the circumcision was being sold as “healthier, safer, cleaner and looks appealing to people.” We grew up in America not knowing anything about foreskin because it’s being omitted. Which is why you get ignorant people who have no idea about not retracting newborns because it’s fused to the glans or that the foreskin has many benefits and isn’t dirty or ugly or unhealthy.  It was even believed to “cure masturbation.” As by Kellogg and few others who are against masturbation. The doctors constantly keep trying to alter their strategy to convince parents to allow them to mutilate their sons’ genitals. Particularly so they can sell it as facial cream. Just ask women like Sandra Bullock and Oprah.

There are people who’ll make excuses for why they support circumcision, but I will debunk them all.

 

 

“it’s cleaner and more sanitary.”

 

Then let us cut little girls genitals for that exact reasoning. No? then let’s not do that to boys either. We’ve survived hundreds of thousands of years without needing some mutilation to our genitals. Not to mention that we all, and I mean all mammals too, have foreskins. Cutting it doesn’t make it sanitary either as a freshly sliced genitals of an infant have to deal with urine and feces. So how is that sanitary again? Not to mention that it’s easier to clean the boys than they make it out to be. Just wipe like you would a finger. But do not retract as the foreskin is fused to the head. The foreskin also provides a lot of benefits and keeps the penis clean itself. Smegma is not a sign of defect of infection, just not keeping it cleaned often. Which by the way is by warm running water. Soap isn’t really needed for it as it irritates it.

 

“it reduced UTIs.”

 

When little girls get UTIs, they’re given antibiotics. Strange. If UTIs requires slicing genitals of boys, then girls should have theirs sliced up for that exact reason. But of course, little boys don’t deserve to have any right to their body, right? Little boys are just disposable. If you’re going to use urinary tract infection as an excuse, then girls, who gets it more, should have theirs sliced up. But if we’re going to be reasonable and logical, then antibiotics and self care would be a more humane approach.

 

“it reduces STIs and HIVs.”

 

What of girls who gets those? Oh that’s right, we’ll teach kids about practices of safe sex and using condoms, but we’ll still just cut up boys anyway. Makes absolutely no sense to do that. If anything, simply teaching our kids safe sex and using protection is what we need, not mutilation.

“It’s sanitary, keeps it clean.”

 

There’s nothing sanitary about having an open wound being covered in feces and urine. Also, the foreskin itself protects the glans and keeps it clean itself. When it comes to cleaning, you just clean as you would with a finger. Do not retract as the foreskin is fused with the glans. It’ll come loose some time later in life. It’s hard to say when it would, even if it’s in puberty some can retract at age 3 or not until their adulthood. It’s really nothing to worry about as long as he can pee. Forcefully retracting the foreskin causes pain and problems, which is why no one should force retract, not even doctors or parents. He can retract if he wish as it’s his body.

Also, the doctors are not doing it for “sanitary” reasons. That is a lie. These people have no business knowing whether he is being clean down there. No one seriously goes around and asking every boy, “are you keeping your little pee pee clean?” you sound like a goddamn pervert when you do. Besides, you’re telling him that he’s too stupid to know how to keep himself clean.

A foreskin provides protection and does help keep it clean. By removing it is like removing your eyelids. It’s actually more harmful and in no way helpful or hygienic. They don’t even need to retract it to keep it clean unless the boy wants to himself. Hopefully not with you pulling it.

 

“It reduces STI and urinary tract infections.”

 

UTI is not a whole lot different from being circumcised or intact. Plus when girls get UTIs, it’s met with antibiotics. Strange how we don’t give boys antibiotics for it, just barbaric unnecessary mutilation of his penis.

As for STIs and HIV, it is a matter of practicing safe sex and using condoms. To make the excuse for mutilating your son’s genitals because of STI is ridiculous and most of all not anybody’s business. If you’re cutting your son’s foreskin off because you’re worried about STI, you’re telling your son that he’s too stupid to keep himself safe if he should have sex.

Not to mention that doctors don’t really care about your son’s health. If they did, they would just prescribe antibiotics for UTIs. As for STIs, it’s not the doctor’s business. Not to mention that the doctor isn’t going to be having sex with your son, nor is he or she going to check in on his dick every now and then.

 

 

“so he won’t masturbate.”

 

This was by the old belief by people like Kellogg who thinks masturbation causes problems. In all honesty, it really doesn’t. plus with this sick weird obsession with what children do with their genitals is not something anybody should be doing. Plus, it never stopped people from masturbating even if they’re cut.

Not to mention that it’s really nobody’s business what children do with their own genitals, nor should they be looking at their children doing that. If anything, you’re the problem here, not the kid.

 

“He won’t remember it.”

 

So if I want to punch a baby in the face, would that be ok? Seriously, there’s nothing more horrendous that suggesting that a child won’t remember and that somehow justifies it. Nothing justifies circumcision. This person won’t remember being raped if I drugged their drinks, so that’s perfectly justifiable.

 

“the doctors aren’t getting sexual gratification from it.”

 

So it’s totally fine to sexually assault a helpless infant, or anyone of any age for that matter, if you did it not for sexual gratification? Talk about getting a “get out of jail” card. “oh I wasn’t molesting the boy, officer, I don’t get sexual gratification from it!

 

“It’s not like he feels it/the pain is not that bad.”

 

If the baby boy was screaming at the top of his lungs when being cut doesn’t that convince you that he’s feeling it, I can’t help you.  

There are 20,000 nerve endings in the foreskin. It’s the most torturous evil act you could do to a baby, or even to adults for that matter.

 

“His girlfriend will thank me for it.”

 

Your son is not something you can sell to women. Also, why is his penis worth earning thanks from some girl? If all she cares about is if he’s cut, she should just go buy a dildo and crawl under a cave. We do not try to alter our daughters to please men, so don’t do that to sons either.

“We’ll just give our little girl boob implants to please some guy, he’ll thank me.”

If that’s not ok, then it’s not ok to cut his foreskin to appease anyone! Besides, not all women like cut dicks. There are women who like guys who are skinny, muscular or overweight and so on. Are we going to stuff our children’s faces to be obese to appease someone who likes them fat?

 

“I want him to look more like his father.”

 

There have never been any sons who are upset they don’t look like their fathers. At best they’ll be curious. Curiosity is not a signal for, “I better look like my dad or there’ll be hell to pay.” Also, you have to be sick to think this way. Besides, if he had a botched circumcision, are you going to demand that the father get his dick cut off too? Also, what if the father is an amputee? Are you going to cut off his limbs too?

If anything, it’s the fathers that want him to look like him. He’s already sharing 50% of your genes, pa! what more do you want? Besides, that’s weird and unhealthy thing to think of doing to your son. Why would you want him to look exactly like you? Even if he is exactly the same in every way, what then? And this also is towards mothers, why would you want your son to look like your husband? You are not going to be having sex with your son! I really hope not!

 

“Foreskin is just so ugly and looks like a turtleneck.”

 

Dangling labia looks like a disgusting ham dangling off a sandwich. See how that sounds? And for your information, no boy or man should care what you think. There’s more to a man than what his penis looks like. No son should ever have to feel ashamed of his body and parents should teach him that there’s nothing wrong with his body. He shouldn’t have to be concerned with women who body shame him. It’s understandable not to body shame women, but same should extend to men too!

 

“He did fine, he slept through it.”

 

No, he went into shock from the circumcision. No one screams bloody murder from being mutilated just go to sleep. If I had been a doctor who circumcised a boy, I would hang myself in shame and regret for this sick evil act. I can’t for the life of me think, “oh he’s screaming as I slice him up, meh that’s ok. Oh he went into shock… nah he’s just sleeping peacefully…”

 

“I’m circumcised and I’m happy with it.”

 

Well good for you, except that a lot of other men who aren’t happy with it and it’s still not justifiable to cut a baby’s penis. Not to mention the fact that he had no say in the matter, had his human autonomy violated and is treated like either a fashion accessory or a disease.

There are parents who had their sons circumcised and doctors who circumcised boys who also REGRET it!

 

“Well the pain goes away and I don’t remember it, so it’s no big deal.”

 

It doesn’t matter. It’s still wrong.

 

“He might get bullied.”

 

First of all, kids get bullied for countless of reasons; for their height, their weight, their appearance, their clothes, how they speak, where they’re from, if they’re gay and so on. You’re not going to stop bullies from bullying your son regardless of his penis. Most likely, he would be bullied if it’s small rather than whether it’s cut or not.

Secondly, there’s other places around where boys are most likely not circumcised, so a boy born naturally as he is will not be left out. But even if he’s around boys who are cut, doesn’t matter.

Thirdly, I would teach the boy self confidence and how to deal with bullies as they come, not mutilate his genitals for the bullies’ sake. If you’re that worried about him being bullied, don’t have a kid. Otherwise, you might as well lock him in a cellar or a bedroom forever anyway. You’re not doing him any favors by treating him this way.

 

“It’s the parent’s decision!”

 

But it’s the son who will suffer this. You’re robbing him of his choices, you’re violating his body where he cannot defend himself or say no. He’s not an accessory, he’s not a defect and he’s not subhuman.

 

There are people who would force a little boy to be circumcised without his consent, clearly showing no concerned about his thoughts or feelings in this and ignoring his crying and pleading.

Also, keep in mind that there’s some people (I’m sure that not all rabbis are like this to be fair) like some rabbi will cut a foreskin of an infant with sharp fingernails AND SUCK THE PENIS! Does that sound like something we should condone?! I didn’t think so. I’m willing to bet you think, “They’re not doing that for sexual gratification!” but there’s no logical reason to do that anyway! But just keep telling yourself that. God forbid should we see it for what it is!

Personally, I think anybody who is strongly for circumcision and never accepts a no from any mothers or fathers who have a newborn son or might be expecting a baby boy should be removed from their life. If I had a son, especially a baby boy, and anyone who even suggested circumcision will be barred from my life because I will not have it. If they refuse to leave me or my hypothetical son alone, I’ll call the police for harassment, if not sexual harassment. My boy will be left alone, safe and intact and unharmed.
