When will parents learn to stand & protect their children? <br /><br />And, a response that I gave when I was asked don't I want our boy to look like his daddy..."I'd love him to have his eyes & his smile, but if he doesn't I'm not going to seek plastic surgery..why would I seek it for his penis?" Btw...his Dad is intact & I'm very happy to say at least his parents got that right!<br /><br />Also, you do know the number 1 reason circ came to life?....the Victoian era believed circumcision would prevent masterbation...so much for the medical benefits they toot about on their horns.<br /><br />Honey<br />Btw...has anyone seen any of the 'our sons get the shaft' bumperstickers?

You are now the second. After many 'short' years of fighting for things natural I am starting to get worn down. You talked to my soul, or should I say written to it. History Stories are a special part in me. My Great Grand Uncle used to tell me about the wars he's been in. I brought back a special feeling and empowerment. Thanks for the refill. Please except this virtual respect I am sending you.<br /><br />Sanfis Daly:<br /><br />Men take some heat and come back too. I do agree that it's mothers who stand up when there is a need. I am sorry for your loose and the feelings you get from the truth. I can't imagine what I would do in your situation. Please keep strong and keep telling your story. It can't change the pass, but from experience, it does help. Hugs!<br /><br />Here's is my comment, or confession. We did not know what K2 was while I was pregnant (well we knew she was a baby, but not the sex). The topic came up that if she was a boy that 'he' would be done. I did not say anything at the time, because, I was plain out dumb. I did do some looking into about the issue, and I cried myself to sleep. However at the time, I did not have the voice I do now. I am sad to say that if K2 was a boy, I would be crying right now. <br /><br />Now from the information at hand, and wonderful people like everyone here. That tells and keeps telling. If I ended up having a little boy, over my dead and spoiling body will that child be mutilated. <br /><br />So to all, please keep the word out, it does do something. Look at me. One person at a time will change the world.OurSentimentshttp://www.oursentiments.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799685441547308974.post-49568831317830092252010-01-22T20:41:36.691-08:002010-01-22T20:41:36.691-08:00Hi,

Well little did she know (until asking) that it was very important to me.<br /><br />I learned about what I lost when I was a young teenager. I stumbled across catholicsagainstcircumcision.org. Just a little digging around was all I could handle.<br /><br />If anyone wants to sexually mutilate my child, boy or girl, they will have to do it over my dead body. <br /><br />How you intactivists take the euphemisms, the false excuses, the dehumanization, day after day and still come back fighting is amazing to me. I cannot see or read too much of this. It is a reminder of what was stolen from me and from my wife, without my permission, against my will. <br /><br />Good luck to you all.<br /><br />Sanfis DalyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799685441547308974.post-49809699139851708952010-01-22T19:49:49.972-08:002010-01-22T19:49:49.972-08:00Woman, that was a kick ass blog!

Is it because I'm a chick that I find this to be the most random, lamest reason ever? I am well endowed in the boob area, and my eldest daughter (who's had grown up breasts for years) is not. Shall I insist she get a boob job to look like me? She has a gorgeous, womanly booty. I do not...I tend more towards the pancake. Should we do something about this? Will our relationship be endangered because we have very different bodies?<br /><br />My husband is cut, my sons are not. One day, when one of my sons was 3, he looked at his nude father and asked, "Daddy, why do you have a fire man's helmet on your penis?" And we explained about circumcision. I'm pretty sure he was glad we hadn't done that to him. He didn't seem to mind at all being different from his father, and my husband was certainly not willing to sacrifice his son's foreskin because of a need for similar penises.<br /><br />Thanks for a great read!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06059951273542374898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799685441547308974.post-82781066868203994162010-01-22T18:47:59.830-08:002010-01-22T18:47:59.830-08:00To all the circumcised dads out there that made a ...To all the circumcised dads out there that made a stand for their son, I say BRAVO!<br /><br />I just asked my 12 year old son, who is happily uncut, about the locker room situation.

A Canadian woman who blogs on YouTube in defence of the foreskin has said that angry women have Emailed her using the c word. This reminds me of the reaction in parts of the USA 50 years ago, when the call went out to end the many indignities to which blacks were then subject.<br /><br />Intact American men have definitely been a misunderstood sexual minority. Are they also a despised one as well, at least in some quarters?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799685441547308974.post-15094540684983601272010-01-22T16:42:10.184-08:002010-01-22T16:42:10.184-08:00Anonymous @ 4:27

Babies should not feel that pain. The adult men they will become should not have their sexual pleasure put at risk in this fashion.<br /><br />Here's another example in history of women stepping in where men simply won't do the job: France in 1420. Everything was falling apart, brigands roamed everywhere, the British occupied half of France including Paris, the most powerful man in Europe was the Duke of Burgundy, and the French Crown Prince refused to be made king.<br /><br />And then an illiterate teenage farm girl, from a part of Europe that spoke a French dialect but was not France, went to the Crown Prince and said "Give me weapons and command over troops and I will liberate France." The French Powers that Be decided "What the hell" and humoured her. Amazingly, she won battle after battle. The British captured her, convened a kangaroo court that condemned her for witchcraft. She was burned at the stake. No matter, because over the next 25 years, the French drove the foreign armies out.<br /><br />The teenage girl was Joan of Arc.<br /><br />I blame the American Foreskin Holocaust on my sex. Most snippers are men doctors, doing it because the baby's father insists.<br /><br />When it comes to the foreskin, the USA in the 20th century was like 15th century France. And the American Joan of Arc is Marilyn Milos. That's why when millions of men are feckless cowards in defence of their intimate bodies, I am not surprised that women rise to the occasion. Women intactivists, I give you a 21 gun salute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799685441547308974.post-10477850321722460272010-01-15T23:31:12.213-08:002010-01-15T23:31:12.213-08:00We were also torn about getting our son circumcise...We were also torn about getting our son circumcised when we found out he was a boy - by torn I mean my partner wanted it done (because he had it done and it "looks better", urgh), and I was dead-set against it. We had MANY arguments, and decided to compromise by... not getting it done... LOL! I also did a bit a research just to hammer it home that it was not necessary. We had a fair amount of opposition, actually - we are in a small rural town where ALL boys get cir'ced because it is the done thing, and we were told all the reasons above as to why we should do it. Thankfully, I'm stubborn and wouldn't back down. <br /><br />Must admit, though - when my own grandmother basically scolded me for not getting it done and told me to "clean him really good", I started to wonder if I'd made the right choice. Thankfully, there are people like you out there who are like-minded and willing to put your opinion out there for everyone to see. Thank you!

I'm circumcised, so to be honest it was a little bit of fear about "what do you do with that thing..." Happily we actually did some research. We started out asking friends and family, and most of the replies we got were "well, his Dad is circumcised and we wanted him to be the same way..." <br /><br />We came to a website that actually showed pictures of the procedure. I didn't get passed them strapping the baby down when I was convinced we didn't want that done to our baby. Coming into this world out of your nice comfy Mom is traumatic enough without your parents letting someone take a knife to you.<br /><br />7 months later and we are extremely happy we didn't do it. And no sign of STD's yet... ;}<br /><br />As for the future... Explaining to him why he is different than Daddy will be a simple "You're grandparents followed the advise at the time."<br /><br />I do worry a little about him being made fun of in the locker room... Kids can be cruel and that is a very sensitive age. But if it happens we will deal with it. Some comeback about "why are you checking out my junk in the first place?" will probably do... ;}Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799685441547308974.post-73971865707401838242010-01-13T19:57:35.937-08:002010-01-13T19:57:35.937-08:00I've just found your blog today - I think we&#...I've just found your blog today - I think we've been separated at birth.

I lurk on this board and was ASTOUNDED by how many people that claim to be advocates of peaceful parenting were arguing the benefits of circumcision. A few posters likened the procedure done to boys in America to female circumcision and there was practically a public lynching.
