Here's an alternative response:

Indeed. Because as we all well know, circumcision also instantaneously results in the development of teeth, growth of a beer gut, and spontaneous sprouting hair all over the body. I've heard sometimes prescription glasses also miraculously appear on the baby's face as the final cut is made.

Sometimes, I can't bite my sarcastic tongue.

Statement: Daddy want's Junior's penis to match his.

Response : Matching, huh? So Dad's going to shave his pubic hair and pack ice in his shorts for 10 years? That's dedication!

Not to mention that a whole generation of men born in the 40s-50s were circumcised while their own fathers were not. So, matching wasn't a problem back then?

OMG, I just posted about this subject in another thread. I just don't get, even ds dad didn't get it either and I had to convince him that it wasn't medically better. I also mentioned the argument that moms have that they don't want their son to feel self-concious in the locker rooms. I wasn't aware that in the locker room guys compare penises.

I just asked my brother that. SIL is preg and I am trying to convince them not to circ if it's a boy. He emailed me saying he wouldn't want his son to be embarrassed in the locker room.

I replied: "Brother, did you check out other guys penises in the locker room?"

I was embarrassed in the locker room b/c my breasts were late to develop. Too bad my mom didn't get me implants, huh?

Seriously...there will be SOMETHING to get made fun of...chicken legs, big belly, ears, nose, forehead, you name it. Better to get a little ribbing b/c you have all of your penis, IMO. Besides, according to DH, guys that make fun of another guys "junk" will get picked on for being "gazers" and no one in the room will care whether DS is an "anteater" or not!

How insecure are these parents, huh???

I was made fun of for being scrawny.

I was made fun of for having very large breasts!
I asked male friends in highschool if any of the guys made fun of penises and they assured me that NO ONE would even dare to check out another guy's stuff.
