theres nothing to circumsize

acutally there is, removeing the clitoral hood is the same as male circumcision

i was looking through something that was posted somewhere else and i came across

In the absence of disease or injury, most doctors know that surgical amputation of the foreskin is not medically necessary. Studies have shown that most parents choose circumcision out of social custom - because it was done to the father or to make the son "look like other boys." Globally, most males are not circumcised. The world medical community views infant circumcision as not just unnecessary, but as destructive and unethical. http://www.noharmm.org/morepages.htm

The forced amputation of a healthy part of an infant's or child's genitals without his consent,
whether in the name of medicine, religion or social custom, is a violation of his human rights.http://www.noharmm.org/advance.htm
Wow, i totally agree with that.

I don't feel either is right, male or female.

I lost 4x the pleasure because society made my parents belive it was correct, fuck that shit.

i dont understand why male circumcision is okay but female circumcisions grouped in the same catagory as female genital mutilation?

this thread has somewhat shifted, but its still good even though i think the intention was to see what people think about haveing their daughters circumsized specificly

The American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement in 1971 declaring
"there are no valid medical indications for circumcision in the neonatal
period." They released a similar statement in 1999, and the rate of U.S.
male circumcision has been in decline since.

There is even an organization, Doctors Opposing Circumcision, consisting of
physicians from around the world, which alleges that routine neonatal male
circumcision is painful, unnecessary and a violation of human rights.

They claim it violates the first tenet of medical practice (do no harm) and
all seven principles of the American Medical Association's code of ethics.
They plan to stop secular circumcision by refusing to perform it
(non-secular circumcision is not usually performed by doctors).

Cancer of the penis is also extremely rare, as are infections under the
foreskin and persistent tight foreskin, which have all been given as medical
bases for preventative circumcision.

Besides, secular circumcision was never intended for hygienic purposes in
the first place. During the latter part of the 19th century, when male
circumcision began in England, it was performed to cure various diseases of
the nervous system (not related to the penis) and to prevent chronic
masturbation, which was thought to lead to diseases such as insanity,
blindness and epilepsy.

Only after the turn of the century, when it was discovered that masturbation
caused none of these things, did the foreskin take the blame for the various
diseases listed above.

The only valid reason left for performing male circumcision, if it's not
required by your religion, is for cosmetic purposes. If we began performing
routine breast implants on teenage girls, there would be an absolute uproar.
And you could use the same argument � aside from a few mess-ups, it
doesn't cause any harm.

So it's all about physical appearance.

wtf? no you idiot, i was asking a question dickhead, and whoever bad repped me for asking a valid question can fuck off.
