Legalize Foreskin

barrelsoforanges:

Everyone on my dashboard is debating circumcision. It’s actually quite fascinating to see you all re-blogging & educating and re-informing people about the TRUTH of male anatomy, foreskin, and human rights. 

Damn.

This is so much different than our parents had it. They thought circumcision was just ‘what you did.’ They did it blindly, without knowledge, and they questioned nothing.

Many parents still choose blindly, without knowledge, and within their cultural lens to have their sons circumcised.

Many parents are logging onto the internet and learning the wonderful facts about foreskin. Many parents are fervent believers in human rights to bodily autonomy, and many parents proudly call themselves believers of gender equality. 

Many parents are skeptical. Many parents are victims of our profit-driven healthcare system. Many parents have had sex with intact penis owners. Many parents know the foreskin isn’t a birth defect. It isn’t extra skin. It isn’t a ticking time bomb of infection. Many parents know foreskin is a mobile sleeve of nerve rich erogenous tissue, the most sensitive part of  the penis. Many parents know this awesome piece of male sexuality is too important to men and their partners to snip off, prophylactically, without the consent of the penis-owner. 

There are good parents who circumcise their daughters. There are good parents who circumcise their sons. 

Circumcision of children is still wrong.
