How's this for an intactivist retort?  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
So, I am always brainstorming and part of that includes visualizing myself talking to my SIL about circ. They got married last week, so she's actually my SIL now! I have this vision that they made a honeymoon baby hehe.

SIL: An uncirc'd penis is ugly.
Me: I am assuming you are referring to an adult penis here. You know, your future son will be born with a foreskin. Trust me, you won't think anything on your beautiful newborn child is ugly. It just won't happen. For that matter, you won't think anything is ugly on your child ever. And he'll eventually get older and you won't want to or need to see his parts anymore, and thus the appearance of an adult intact penis won't ever be anything for you to worry about. And if all that doesn't convince you, there are many, many women and men out there who aren't bothered in the least by an intact penis. Your son will have a wonderful life and you will be great parents.

Are there other concerns you have?

I'd try visualizing her already being on your side. Do you have any sense that is already her opinion?

My brother claims she holds this opinion, as does he. I am hoping he is wrong about her, but I am trying to be prepared for anything.
