The difference between sex and rape is consent. If a man chooses to be circumcised, that is a whole different ballgame than with children, especially healthy children, who do not. One of the biggest problems with circumcision is that doctors and lawyers refuse to see it for the mutilation that it is.
Imagine a world, where obvious rape is ignored. If I'm correct, that world DOES exist in the Middle East, where "rape" is defined by whether four men or so, were present to witness it? Maybe you don't have to go around worrying that someone is going to jump out of an alley and circumcise you, but baby boys, and parents of baby boys have to watch their children to make sure doctors or nurses won't take them away and circumcise them, or forcefully retract them. These cases have happened in the past, and they still happen today.
Rape victims have to live the rest of their lives with the knowledge that it could happen again, it's true, but men have to be reminded of their circumcisions for the rest of their lives, every time they go to the restroom and take a pee. Some men choose to make light of it, telling themselves "it was for their own good Men who resent their circumcisions are SOL. Women who want support for rape have centers for rape and numbers they can call.
Do men who hate being circumcised have that? I stand by my statement; circumcision is rape. It is worse than the rape that happens to women, because it leaves a visible, and tangible physical scar. It's just so sad that people refuse to see it that way On the Facebook thread of this video, Kim said: " Surely you don't think the majority of parents are going around circumcising their sons because they WANT to harm them, do you?!
No one wants to believe that they have "raped" their children. But if you read my statement carefully, I never indicted parents for "raping" their children. I'll say it again; circumcision of healthy, non-consenting children is rape. But let us observe who is doing the raping? Who is ultimately holding the knife?
Who is responsible for dispensing correct and accurate information? I cannot blame parents who genuinely wanted the best for their sons. I can only see them as victims, along with their children. Victims of violation of trust. Those whom they were supposed to trust for advice took advantage of this trust. I hope that you can see that in me calling circumcision rape, I am not automatically indicting parents. It is not they who are paid to know better. It is not they who brandish PhDs in their offices demanding everyone call them "doctor.
That responsibility goes to doctors, and it is they who are being professionally irresponsible. We no longer live in the dark ages.
We have the internet. Doctors that continue to circumcise healthy, non-consenting children are guilty of medical fraud, professional abuse, and yes, child rape. Circumcising doctors are professional child rapists. We followed the prescribed care schedule, squeezing copious amounts of Vaseline on the flaming red glans of his very newborn penis, and covering the whole thing with gauze, at every diaper change. Eventually red turned to pink, and pink returned to flesh colored, and it healed.
Actually, it looked pretty great. In fact, they did an excellent job as far as circumcisions go. It felt like it was just one in the long line of difficult decisions to be made as a parent. The ugliness of the recovery was just part of it, but we all lived through it.
Fast forward 3 years. My beautiful brown eyed boy came into the world two weeks late. His birth was beautiful and painless and all the things a birth should be. But he looked exactly like his brother and he was perfect…perfectly perfect from head to toe. And hairy. Surprisingly, when asked about circumcision at the hospital, we told the pediatrician we were planning to go ahead. I mean…. The next day, the pediatrician was performing his rounds and informed us that due to an overwhelming number of cesareans that day rolling my eyes here , there was no additional staff to assist in the circumcision procedure.
Five days following his birth, we nervously drove our sweet new baby to the pediatrician. We got this. In my stomach, that is. Our name was called and we were ushered down a long hallway to the room where the procedure would take place. Our babe was weighed and measured and generally given the once over. Yep, still perfect. Then the pediatrician sat down and looked us straight in the eyes.
I want to make sure you understand that this is a cosmetic procedure. This is not a medical necessity. Nonetheless, we signed the waivers to get on with it. This was the decision we had made for our son. Then the board was brought in. It had a depression in the center, generally the shape of a baby. There were straps designed to restrain the head, arms and legs.
My brand new, perfect, bright eyed baby was about to be strapped to the board. Be strong. Hold it together. Get me out of here. I handed my warm little squishy bundle over to the nurse who began strapping him down. He immediately began crying and my husband and I hurriedly left the room. Quickly, we walked down the hallway, in the futile attempt to escape his screams.
Out the door into the lobby…we still hear him. The mother said she is relieved that action is finally being taken, and hopes the case will raise awareness. Three arrested over boy's circumcision.
