I posted the above link that a friend shared on Facebook earlier, and it spawned a discussion. First was a mother who's doctor informed her that circumcision was the right thing to do. His procedure was botched and he ended up having to have multiple procedures until he was 4 years old to partially repair the damage.
Next was a friend of mine, who I've always found to be a bit immature but still enjoy and get along with. He commented that he would have his kids cut as soon as they came out as opposed to leaving them natural. I asked him if he could defend his decision, and he replied:
Friend:I am, my bf is and I prefer them. I like being cut and I want my kid to feel the same as me, just a preference
Me: An ignorant one, but you're right, it's your preference. Hopefully you can convince your son that "what's best" is trumped by "what's best for Daddy"
Friend: Lol my parents did it to me , and I'm glad they did
Me: I'm happy you're happy, that's a lucky roll for your parents. Many men are not, hence why this article was posted. A company wouldn't invest in a product/service that didn't have a major market to cater to.
SO, my question. To those who support cutting a baby's foreskin off, what has made you feel this way? Is it any of the following?
-parents did it to you, and your dad had his done, so why not?
-most other kids are, and I would want my kid to fit in
-I had a bad experience with a guy with a natural penis, so I don't want that for my kid.
-it looks nicer to me
-my bf is and I like his
Finally, am I wrong in categorizing the above justifications as ignorant?
