*SIGH!!!* Aggravated, annoyed, pissed intactivist here....
So a girl posted to my birth club on BBC wanting info on circ, and opinions on it. She wasn't sure what to do, even after doing research. So, I posted an extremeeeeely long informative post on circ containing LOTS of valuable info, and at the end of the post I even linked wreckingboy's Mutilation Nation article, and mentioned that if she wanted all the links to the various resources I did research on when pregnant with my DS I would be more than glad to give her those links, for her to just PM me.
IN MY POST I mentioned how they tried to conduct a study on baby's pain levels during RIC that had to be discontinued due to the fact the study was deemed barbaric. I also mentioned how some studies have shown that some men do in fact remember the pain of circ subconsciously. AFTER my post there are women stating that babies do not feel that much pain just the initial pinch then they stop crying (Dipshits, have you ever heard of someone going into shock?!) and how they won't remember the pain when they are older (Again, studies have proven that some men DO remember the pain subconsciously!) and blah blah blah, other stupid retarded comments. It's more hygenic (nope, not really....if it was then the 80% of the world's men that's intact would be getting circ'ed as adults due to problems...), there aren't many risks, and bleeeeh. I'm just miffed. I TRY to educate people. But, people don't listen! One girl even DARED to compare the risks of circ to the risks of an epidural. Ok...what are the risks to epidural? BP dropping, baby's heartrate dropping, paralysis, headaches, labor slowing, allergic reaction the the meds and nerve damage. What are the risks to circ? Oh...let me see. Hemhorrage, infection, partial amputation, skin shortage, cysts, possible meatal stenosis, painful erections later in life, and even death. So...how the hell are the risks even comparable? One thing, an epidural, has minor risks....circ can have life threatening risks. Seriously...do people not do research? Or are people just as stupid as they seem?
I'm done with those idiots though. Seriously. DONE. If I comment on a circ post from now on, I'll leave a long-ass informative comment, followed by a link to wreckingboy's article, followed by stating that I will gladly give resources to research on if wanted; And after that? I won't comment anymore. If people choose to be blind sheep, so be it. I just don't want to hear the whining after their son's circ is botched, or they have a problem stemming from the circ. Because I'll be there to say "See...this is why you DONT get boys circumcised!"
People are idiots. Point blank. And I hate people.
