Well yes, I have seen talk from women who feel terribly that they made a mistake in the past. When you know better you do better.

Well that does make me sad, but I am happy they are prevented from promoted circ by the user agreement. There aren't many place for mothers to go where they are safe from that kind of talk on the net.

I don't have anything in my siggy, but I do have an intact son.

I'm going to add it now...

When I first came to MDC, I was a new mom (baby girl, thank goodness because if she had been a boy, he'd have been circ'd). I learned about circ here. And that's why my 4 month old is intact. (well, that and my irl friends...however, I met them mostly here too!)

So, maybe someone will see my siggy and think again. It's not accurate to assume that everyone here is anti circ. I didn't know anything about it until I found out I was having a boy.

I think if that is something that you are very passionate about, that it is something very normal to wonder about. I don't think that the OP was saying that anyone who doesn't have an intact smiley in their sig is bad or pro-circ, she just wonders. I wonder a lot of things about a lot of people on MDC! :

me too! hehe

first few posts on this thread are a bit over kill to say the least!

now to the op:

The thought of circumcision, for all reasons, haunts me. It is so important to protect little children from harm. I do not think the anti-circ siggys are advertising a member's child's genitals. I do believe it is bringing awareness to a human rights issue that is too often laughed about. Literally....people slap their steering wheels, point, and hysterically laugh at my bumpers sticker on my car. All they say are:
Circumcision, The more you know, the more you are against it.
and
10 out of 10 babies oppose circumcision

I know we are not talking about bumper stickers, I am just making a point that this human rights issue is commonly laughed at in our society.

I wonder about people as well OP, when I see people have boys and they do not have a nocirc siggy. It is human nature to wonder about other humans and their practices and beliefs.

Circumcision is too harmful and painful to be ignored and put on the back burner. If you care, show it. The babies are counting on the outspoken.

Well I do have one in my siggy here, but not in my siggy on any other forum.

No. I honestly think most of the people here with sons didn't circ. Its not in my sig and I have 2 intact boys.
