RationalRogue said:Legalities say it's class A. (or class whatever the shit) genital mutilation and it still hasn't been outlawed yet. If I have kids they definitely aren't getting circumcised.

Association of Women's Health said:Background: FGM is a practice that dates from the 5th century BC. It is a cultural/religious ritual performed on women that relates to their acceptance for marriage and/or childbearing. In the regions where it is commonly practiced, the procedure is deeply rooted in tradition and religion. Also known as female circumcision, FGM is practiced in 28 sub-Saharan African countries, as well as in portions of the Middle East and Asia. Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States are noting an increase in prevalence of this practice, likely due to immigration.
While many Western nations, including the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Sweden, Switzerland, as well as African nations such as Egypt and the Sudan, have banned FGM, there is no mechanism to track or prosecute those who continue the practice, as it is mostly an unreported procedure. In addition, laws banning FGM can have the adverse effect of increasing the number of procedures performed in unsafe practice settings and preventing those who experience complications from seeking further medical attention.
World Health Organization said:Prevalence and distribution of FGM
Most of the girls and women who have undergone genital mutilation live in 28 African countries, although some live in Asia and the Middle East. They are also increasingly found in Europe, Australia, Canada and the USA, primarily among immigrants from these countries.
Today, the number of girls and women who have been undergone female genital mutilation is estimated at between 100 and 140 million. It is estimated that each year, a further 2 million girls are at risk of undergoing FGM.
Perhaps it's interesting to you, but the problem with making comparisons like this is that you run the risk of using a faulty reasoning practice known as a false analogy, or what some people refer to as "comparing apples and oranges." It's what happens when you assume that two similar objects are alike in every way because they have common qualities.gregor2001us said:Very nicely put Tryptamine! Too bad the US has not become as enlightened. I recently read an interesting comparison that, for me, illustrates how odd the thinking in America is:
"...there is a noticeable inverse similarity between the strange, unique statuses given to both the female earlobe and the male foreskin.
Most people would react with shock and horror and outrage if either piercing a
child's genitals or amputating their earlobe were to be suggested.
Yet somehow, magically, it's neverthless okay to pierce the female earlobe, and
amputate the male foreskin.
Nothing more than custom justifies -- or rather, attempts but fails to justify --
either practice, and, again, very frequently, they're both examples of the abuse
of children's physical integrity for narcissistic self-gratification."
I should note that just for the record, this was in a discussion of piercing children's earlobes, and circumcising infants. Interesting to consider the comparison.

For example:
Treat kids like pets, with strict rules and feedings, and they'll be good.

This must be a great car, for, like the finest watches in the world, it was made in Switzerland.
FWIW, I would be interested to know if piercing a child's ears is a strictly American phenomenon.

LadyJeanne said:We do it in my culture...Eastern European. I was the only girl in my family who didn't have pierced ears; my dad refused because he thought it was a tacky thing for children, and encouraged people to see girls as sex objects. He got really mad at one of his sisters who was going to pierce them for me while he was at work...my mom stopped her because she knew my dad would have a huge fit.
Woohoo, was I excited when I finally turned 16 and was allowed to get my ears pierced!
muskokan said:I've always wondered how real guys feel about the situation with their foreskin.
I've heard of groups of guys who are cut trying to regain their foreskin but I don't know ( m )any guys who are intact.
My sons father is cut but wanted our son intact which I also wanted and he is intact . My hubby is cut and just about freaked out when I told him that if our baby was a boy he'd be intact as well (luckily we had a girl)
do those of you with foreskins ever think about what it would be like without it or if a girl would like it better without it. are there any guys who have had theirs removed for cosmetic reasons only in their adult life
guys without have you ever wondered what it would be like with one or thought about trying to get it back?
