Hm, it's "chop chop", literally. Chop the hair, chop the penis, so to speak.
The military familys I know= the guys insist on circ and most women just end up saying "well, he's got the Penis and will make the Penis decisions. It's important to him".
One family I know is an exeption-he is intact and so is is son, but the mom is also one the biggest activists.
But then I also notice how that extends to the vax issue- as if the family is "military" also and one mom told me how a nurse was blackmailing her that her refusal to vax her son would result in "consequences" for the husband- that just makes you say what the f***?
Unfortunately circ rates around here (New England) are still high. It seems to be the "upper middle class-WASP" rule and circ is still very prevalent. Before I actively sought out other "granolas" I didn't know a single one intact, breastfed, cloth diapered or GOD BEWARE, unvaxed baby.
I will never forget that separate little room in my hospital's nursery with the 2 circumstraints I saw-despite being wiped down the genital ares is stained with desinfectant and worse, blood. 2 very distinct colours. They can wipe everything off as clean as they want- it eat's it's way into the plastic. That's almost like a stain of conscience.
My DS was hospitalized and was in the nursery (I was able to be with him 90% of the time) and I heard one being being tortured. I realized they even postponed that boy's circ until my DS was back in my room. Guess they did't want me witnessing that.
Awful, just the picture with those 2 stained circumstraints are burned into my brain, not to mention that horrible screaming.
, which by the way could still be heard.
While that Doc was circing away the other boy in the nursery that nurse wanted to take my DS back there so he could be "released" from the hospital. Ah no, no way, my Baby goes to that Doc back into a room without me where someone else was being tortured. Turned out to be no problem, Doc came to us, the nurse got my drift. Doc looks at him and says "Oh, he's not circed, well, that's an option too."
Yes folks, your boys genitals are "options". I just wanted to barf.
His father's extensive military service background was actually a factor in why I erroneously thought he must be circumcised (the military = circumcision stereotype was alive and well in my high school!).
