because what's in your crotch should be yours.

Linking to No Harmm from my userinfo, because it is way overdue. Few things upset me as much as the idea of people cutting up younger, helpless people's genitalia just because they can, or because they've always done it, because they think God wants it, because they think it's "cleaner"...whatever. This seems to strike some people as strange, but the circumcision of healthy male babies breaks my heart and makes me very nearly as angry as FGM.

Reading about the sexual experiences of men who've chosen to be circumsized later in life really upsets me, but at least they chose it for themselves. Reading about mothers who regret circumsizing their sons upsets me possibly even more. Gah. Whereas FGM is just fucked, but at least activists are *doing* something about it. Nobody seems to care about foreskins.

My tummy hurts.
