Circumcision Promotes Rape Culture

(Consent is Sexy)

A baby boy is born. His tiny quivering body is snuggled up to his mother’s as they bask in the bonding hormones only a mother and baby can experience. As this precious new baby’s life unfolds over the next few days EVERYTHING is new, and amazing.

Suddenly, he is removed from the safety he has known, removed from the tender love and nurturing. Carried down the cold hallway of a hospital by the doctor his mother has paid to sexually assault her bundle of joy; SEXUALLY ASSAULT HER BABY WITH A KNIFE.

The confused infant is starting to fuss, using his only known method of communication to signal his absent mother that he really needs her. A nurse places him on his back and starts strapping down his tiny arms and legs so they don’t get in the way and there is no longer any hope.

I am going to stop the narrative here because now its time to talk about facts, and to continue the horror story above would only titillate the perverts who approve of circumcision. A nurse hands your baby back to you in a state of shock from the pain he just went through without anesthetic, and if he doesn’t die like the more than 110+ babies every year in America who don’t survive the blood loss from the procedure, you carry on and tend to his wound.

Let’s talk about the things we say to these boys when they’re older, to make them feel better about the fact that we had them tied down while their genitals were mutilated when they were to small and helpless to say STOP.

“He was so young, he’ll never remember”

“I have a right as his guardian to do this to him”

“Its for his own good so he isn’t made fun of”

Now your mutilated baby hits puberty. You have successfully made masturbation and his future sex life less pleasurable for him, but he will persevere; His hormones will make sure of that. Now we spend time talking about “Rape Culture” we tell him that just because someone can’t say no doesn’t mean consent is implied. We tell these boys that date rape, and date rape drugs are wrong. We tell them that just because everyone else is doing it, doesn’t make it right………That is hypocrisy.

How can you horrifically violate a boy’s sexuality and then expect him to live his life with a healthy respect for other people’s bodies, or even his own. THEN to top it all off we spread terrible lies, to make it all seem like it really was for his own best interest. Instead of excuses and false facts, we need to heal our men. We need to talk about how wrong it was to violate them and let them heal emotionally as well as physically from this terrible thing that was done to them.

FACT: A baby boy’s foreskin is fused to the head of his penis when he is born and doesn’t separate until much later, often not till puberty. This means that the incredibly uninformed people who think they’re saving these boys from a life time of “dick cheese” and uncleanliness have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about. It also means that forced retraction of an intact baby boy is nothing more than damaging sexual assault. STOP TOUCHING BABY GENITALIA. Have you EVER heard a doctor recommend forcing back the clitoral hood to scrub the clitoris clean? No, because your body can take care of itself regardless of gender. I read a very poignant meme the other day with regards to this very subject.
