Male and Female Circumcision

**pinkandblue** · 24-07-2007 10:06

Hi

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on male and female circumcision.

Are you for male and female circumcision?

Or against both?

Or just for one of them?

I am genuinely interested in people who circumcise their sons but not your daughters? Why would you do it to one and not the other.

Poll coming.

Thanks

I am against both.

It is unnecessary for BOTH.

I am with u chocolatemudcake
I could never and would never ever do this to my children And yes I have seen what is has done to a couple of poor little boys

I will add If it is for medical reasons then obviouysly it has to be done But should be illegal for people that just want it

given the tendency on this forum for people to strongly state their views and then attack different views, do you really expect such a poll to be informative or valid?

I would like to hear reasons

I only know of a couple of reasons why...

oh and Im against both.

I only believe it to be necessary for males for medical reasons. Anything other than that is just fluff.

You guys should read an autobiography called "Desert Flower" by Waris Dirie.
It will bring tears to your eyes and will make you wonder why people do such things to their children.

So I'm totally against both. My DS's peepee looks cute as it is. If it's not broken, why fix it ??

i got my son done cause of the fact that when i took him to the doc he stated that his foreskin was really tight and that it was impossible to clean therefor there was an infection starting. he gave me the option and i didn't want to risk future problem down there cause i thought an ongoing problem would hurt more than the operation.
