I was just interviewed for an article about Circ! - Page 6

I agree w/ you. There's a good number of people in countries like the U.S, Canada and other areas who would love to circumcise their daughter if it weren't illegal. In fact, some try to take back to their homeland to do it. It gets media coverage every so often.

It comes down to genital integrity for BOTH. Like the BoysToo.com website says. I would support this bill in both countries.

I can see how your mom and sis would be upset. But, you're so right. This wasn't about them. At all. And, did your mom really make the choice in full awareness? My mom said that there was no mention at all to her when her boys were circed.

Oh, that's very reasonable. I'm proud of him, too! : Hey, can the online version be reposted in newsgroups (Usenet)? I would NOT post it in "alt.circumcision" because of the circumfetishers over there. But I could post it in multiple ones like "soc.men" and "alt.parenting-solutions", etc. May I please? I might even post it as a singular in "alt.circumcision" in the hopes a visitor there may wade through all the expected garbage posts from Jake W. and get educated.

I think this would be fine. Is it just another messageboard? I confess to not being clear of most of what you said.

I'll try to describe it as best I can. Yes, newsgroups (Usenet) is like one gigantic global message board forum. There's ones that are text-only, and some that are used for posting pictures, videos (binaries). You either format your Outlook Express, or Netscape web browser to read and post. An altenative is Google Groups, that not only lets you do that, but actually ARCHIVES all posts as far back as the early-'90s [the downside: you can only post to 5 newsgroups at one time, there's a cap of how many posts in a certain time period)! Posts also appear in Google searches.

Because of the circumfetishers in alt.circumcision, I would post your story separately, because those who respond would post the messages in the other newsgroups and quite frankly, the circumfetishes act childish and tend to distract from the main goal-- education. But I would post it separately so those who ONLY go to alt.circumcision, could still get educated, even though there will be some childish "go clean your gross disgusting foreskin" comments will be needed to be waded through. :
