My Wife is a PA and this is one of those topics that she is against me on. I am standing my ground though once we have a son.

2018-09-26 22:17:12 UTC  

^^ Wife is a nurse and we had it out about this as well. When we found out our #2 was going to be a boy, we circled back around and had the arguments again. I won and we left him uncircumcised.

2018-09-26 22:18:47 UTC  

Ultimately she was fully swayed when she asked a pediatrician friend who actually performs circumcisions. He told her that there is no reason for doing it unless for religious reasons or you live in the 3rd world.

2018-09-26 22:19:38 UTC  

I told her the same thing. They basically brain wash these medical professionals to do it for no reason other than looks and cleanliness.

2018-09-26 22:20:09 UTC  

It really raises my blood pressure.

2018-09-26 22:20:43 UTC  

Exactly. But the foreskin doesn't even separate until they're older, so there's not even a need to clean anything until he's almost in puberty.

2018-09-26 22:21:07 UTC  

Exactly. It is genital mutilation.

2018-09-26 22:21:10 UTC  

We had some heated arguments as well, it actually really put a strain on the marriage

2018-09-26 22:21:35 UTC  

I bet. So far she just says "We aren't having this convo right now"

2018-09-26 22:23:32 UTC  

Honestly, if it comes down to it, you have every right to pull the veto card. Just tell any doctor, nurse, aid, whatever that you do not consent to circumcision in any way and that if they so much as give your boy's weiner a second look, you'll sue them.

2018-09-26 22:24:32 UTC  

No doctor will touch him if both parents aren't in agreement.

2018-09-26 22:24:54 UTC  

I doubt it will go that far but I will hold that card for my check mate.

2018-09-26 22:25:34 UTC  

She and I just need to sit down and have the convo. It has always been off the cuff comments when a friend talks about it or something random.

2018-09-26 22:26:08 UTC  

Moly actually did a really good video on it, it got my wife to at least question the necessity.

2018-09-26 22:26:26 UTC  

Cool I will check it out.

2018-09-26 22:29:31 UTC  
2018-09-26 22:29:59 UTC  

Thanks I was just looking them up on YT.

2018-09-26 22:30:12 UTC  

Vaccines are a whole other issue.

2018-09-26 22:31:56 UTC  

Vaccines are a dicey topic, am not anti-vax, but I think they give them a lot of unnecessary stuff. I don't let them do flu vaccines and other random stuff.

2018-09-26 22:32:14 UTC  

And not all at once.

2018-09-26 22:33:51 UTC  

They'll try and give them hepatitis shots minutes after the kid is born. Tell them no and that the pediatrician can give them the shot if needed.

2018-09-26 22:34:40 UTC  

I believe it's hepB, not sure though. But it's something that is primarily spread sexually, so it's absurd that they try and give it to newborns

2018-09-26 22:35:54 UTC  

Yeah I am going to make a list of the vaccines that I will allow prior to having a child.

2018-09-26 22:36:25 UTC  

This was one of the ways I was first red pilled was vaccines and all the chemicals in food/water/air/clothing etc

2018-09-26 22:36:52 UTC  

I started down a similar path lol

2018-09-26 22:37:19 UTC  

AJ and Red Ice were the reasons I am here. I know AJ would hate that lol

2018-09-26 22:39:56 UTC  

Haha, I was mostly an economic libertarian, so I was big on Molyneux, Tom Woods,etc, but I enjoyed AJ. I was a big Cantwell follower as well, and ultimately ended up getting redpilled while he was.

2018-09-27 01:26:24 UTC  

What was described in that article is extremely rare, but that alone is worth not having circumcision done. That is one unlucky lottery you don't want to "win."

2018-10-10 16:24:54 UTC  

Haha, @missliterallywho. I suppose consider it a blessing, as having the opposite problem would not be good.

2018-10-10 23:59:32 UTC  

@missliterallywho my wife puts a burp cloth over her chest between feedings. It’s not perfect but it cuts down significantly on the spillage.

2018-10-15 03:12:49 UTC  

@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA we have three boys. all uncut. all fine. never once had any issue with it! they may not" look like dad', but who cares! Dad will talk to them about it if he ever needs to, and let them know why we didn't have that terrible thing done to them!

2018-10-15 12:35:32 UTC  

I feel the same way. It’s just convincing my wife to see that it’s unnecessary and cruel.

2018-10-15 12:54:48 UTC  

@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA show her a video of how they do it. That settled it with my wife.

2018-10-15 12:55:34 UTC  

If you lost a finger at the factory would you chop your sons off so he looks like dad?

2018-10-15 13:03:54 UTC  

There is not a single argument for it.

2018-10-15 14:01:52 UTC  

Hers comes from a medical perspective of it could get infected if you dont do it. I say instead of cutting some part of my son off just teach him to clean himself properly.

2018-10-15 14:01:59 UTC  

So much easier and less stress for the child.

2018-10-16 10:50:35 UTC  

@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA there is no issue with cleaning. There is no medical reason to do elective cosmetic surgery on an infants genitals. Zero stress. They self clean like female genitalia. In fact until they are older you should not even be messing around around in there. You can really hurt a little guy if you retract his for skin to clean before it separates on its own.

2018-10-16 11:13:12 UTC  

The American Association of Pediatrics does not recommend circumcision although they are mealy mouthed about their rejection of it. The WHO also does not recommend it. I don’t really care about either but if you need authorities to back your choice it’s out there.

2018-10-16 15:10:47 UTC  

@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA She is talking about smegma, I have only seen that in 3rd world patients who do not properly clean themselves. It's nearly impossible for smegma to build up if you shower regularly.
