When parents, physicians, and therapists belittle a man expressing his anger, shock, and confusion regarding his RIC (Routine infant circumcision) imagine what that does to him? Not all men suffer from or even care that their penises were cut at birth. But many men do and in a society that is full of genital cutters and supporters these men feel isolated and abnormal, simply for wishing they had the whole body they were born with. Instead it was stolen from them, maybe thrown away in the garbage or maybe sold to medical research companies. This is criminal! yet our culture is so heavily indoctrinated from either religion or the medical community that they don’t even flinch an eye at it.
What kind of person does it take to ignore the screams and struggles of a helpless infant as they cut away at his little penis. What kind of parent does it take to listen to their teenage or adult son voice his rage, or despair about what was amputated from him and feel no remorse only defensiveness and anger? What kind of therapist can listen to a man complain that he can’t have sexual relations with a women, because of his RIC and tell him he’s got a mental disorder? What kind of physician does it take to mock a man who wants to invest in foreskin restoration? And what kind of effect will these human reactions have on the victim and his view of the world? It’s worse than rape on so many levels because it involves amputation of a sexual organ and society offers no legal medical or emotional support for the victims.
Maybe this is why I have such contempt for men who brag about their circumcised penises. I’ve never said a circumcised man is less of a human being, not deserving love or respect. That’s what people here however when presented with the effects of this sex crime. I understand it’s a fine line and maybe i’ve crossed that fine line and for that I am sorry if I’ve offended circumcised men or made them feel bad about themselves. That’s not my mission. I admit I do tend to be radically extreme but this crime is radically extreme and after reading hundreds of stories from men who are suffering 24/7 both mentally and physically I can’t help but be anything else. These men deserve a voice. I’m not doing this for the happily circumcised man but for the men who are mocked, ridiculed, and ignored by their parents, the medical industry that did this to them, therapists,friends and family. I know what it’s like to be abused and ostracized for exposing the abuse/abuser. Though mine can’t even compare to having my genitals mutilated and being told to shut up about it and move on.
