Re: Circumcision is good

In my previous post I wasn't going to go into indepth detail, however,

"#1 She's confused and contradictory in that she says girls don't get circumcised and then goes on to talk about female circumcision"
Women in the Industrialized/Western Civilization such as MYSELF DON'T get circumcised. I know it exists in some parts of the world, mainly third world countries where they do a lot of old, antiquated, sexist, female domination practices still.

#2 She doesn't explain why she considers female circumcision barbaric and wrong"
~please refer to item #1

#3 She apparently doesn't know what the vagina is and appears to be confusing it with the vulva. If when she's fifty she suffers a full prolapse and ends up with 4" plus of vagina hanging out, she'll learn what it is!"

I am a woman, and I know what I have. I have studied texts of it as well. I know the functions, the muscles, and the components of the human vagina, including the uterus and ovaries.

#4 She deems herself to be in a better position than anyone else to make a judgment on a matter which will not affect her."

I, as well as everyone who have children, will make decisions for them to a certain age. THAT'S LIFE...GET OVER IT!! My parents made decisions for me when I was a child, and your parents made decisions for you when you was a child. It doesn't mean I wouldn't be any less of a good parent. Traditions are handed down to the next generation, and while circumcision is 'optional', safe and legal, the decision to circumcise their son only matters to the family who considers circumcising their son.

"some of us value our own genitals"
I value myself just as much as anyone else. That has nothing to do with circumcision,however.

"...and respect the right of our sons to be protected from unwarranted deprivation of a very considerable proportion of the skin of their penises."
