Preparing to Confront Your Parents!

[prouly]

I know sometime in the near future, a lot of us will have to confront our parents on the matter of how they mutilated our genitals. Whether it's to help release anger towards them, or knowing they went through life not recognizing what they did was wrong.
We might not know exactly when we will confront our parents on the matter, but when/if the subject of circumcision comes up around them, whether it be a joke, a birth, or out of the blue, we will have and opportunity to initiate the conversation, and will have to be well prepared for a tough fight.

So what do you say? Let's help everybody, and come up with an a collection of things they might try to say, and responses to those things. Along with some key things or facts you feel would really hit home home on the matter.

Tips, advice, how your confrontation went, what you said, how they reacted, things your feel are important to say, how you/them handled it, or your thoughts on the matter!

I'm not the best at talking, but I just asked simply my mum and she said that it was done because her brothers had it done and the foreskin traps bacteria (Which isn't rational)

It's your body part, stupid!

Are we living in the dark ages?

Religion? What's that? What year are we? 59 AD?

We are in the Year 2012. Science, research and education dismissed all that rubbish, yet this cancer and enemy to the male still is present. And the parents are the spokesmen of the child.

It's child cruelty! A Child deserves to be intact, and left alone. Leave children alone you pedophile, narcistic, head-in-the-cloud, to-be and has been parents! YOU DO NOT KNOW WHATS RIGHT FOR THE CHILD UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR CHILD IS SAYING TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told her, I swore to her that my kids will be intact. She says basically that it's ok. She's lovely, but I didn't like what was done. No point agonizing on the past, when it's reversible these days and possible to regain!

She didn't know at the time. I dobbed her in and said that it was rubbish what was advised. The doctor didn't offer to circumcise, it was my mum's choice. Had she known not from a TV or rubbish medical advice, me and my brother would be intact (although he says circumcision makes the penis look clean - YUCK! IDIOT!) - And I told him off for that.

I have told dad and he just gave me similar reasons. And I wish alot of people knew about Foregen. I don't care how long it takes, it will be 5 years for it to happen and I can wait that long.

I'm not desperate - there's more to life than just worrying about my penis. But still, If I had any chance to confront any parents wishing to circumcise their kids, I would advise against it.

I just need a book I can buy to read more about it and really study and learn, so that I can counter-argument their responses.

So, in the end, parents don't owe you. You owe yourself! You just gotta realise it! And as a 21 year old male with no car, until I get the car I can do whatever the heck I want.

I feel horrified. I think it brings back painful memories of all that stuff parents put on ya, like religion, beliefs and neglect. And Genital Surgery. UGH.

But I had enough. I had enough of all Pro-Circumcision people. They have no one bit of good in them. They are only the boot-lickers of the rich people who make alot of money from it, like religion has ever done.
Both are evil.

I asked my mom when I was a teenager. I was RIC and my younger brothers were left intact.

She told me that when I was born, doctors recommended it, when my brothers were born, the doctors did not.

I accepted that. Sometimes, timing is everything...

I think its important if you are going to confront your parents about circumcision you look at the consequences carefully. There are different ways of approaching the topic. Give it some time and think about it, that way your decision wont be fueled by emotion.

Ask yourself, "is it in my best interest to confront my parents?" If it is go for it! If it isnt, let it be and move on, you dont want to humiliate, and make yourself feel worse.
