2011-07-29 Queerty: parents free to mutilate their kids

[Dasher]

San Francisco parents are now free to mutilate their kids, according to the sub-headline on the Queerty story.

Even more interesting than the story are the numerous comments. Be sure to read comment #14.

I know it's a shame, but this ban bill spread a lot of our influence even if the ban couldn't pass. One day America will be ready to end mutilation.

Commenter #14 is clearly an idiot in denial. I laughed it off and moved on. I suggest you do the same, as no one is going to be able to get through to him.

Commenter #28 produced another humorous pro-circ argument. Apparently when parents get their kids hair cut that is follicle mutilation.

I just cut my beard off not that long ago. Guess I'm engaging in self-mutilation.

It's really difficult to acknowledge that someone raped you with a knife shortly after birth. Denial is a way of dealing with it.
