Imagine if you applied the forcible retraction advice to a girl...

[BlessedMommy2006]

As the mom of a boy and a girl, I was trying to imagine what forcible retraction advice for girls would look like:

"Now all baby girls are born with a fused hymen and a fused clitoral hood. If you choose not to surgically remove those things, you need to clean inside her vagina at every diaper change, or else she will get an infection. You also need to retract and clean under her clitoral hood. If she protests at first when you try, don't worry, it will become looser with time. You MUST do it for her hygiene or else you will have to subject her to a clitoral hood removal and a surgical hymen removal. The gently stretching and cleaning should help her hymen to perforate and her clitoral hood to retract by puberty. If it doesn't, then she has a condition known as "imperforate hymen" and "clitoral phimosis" and needs intervention or she will never live a normal life."

We laugh at this, but people give essentially this same advice for boys. :

You forgot that baby girls should receive a medicated douche after every bath.
