Well my goodness you certainly do have strong opinions on this topic. First of all for someone so PRO foreskin I would think you'd be congratulating me as an American middle class suburban mom for going against the grain and letting my son remain uncircumcised. Believe me, I've heard it all from he'll get teased in the locker room to "it's not clean"
His father is circumcised, but also talks to him about proper care of his penis. In what way is it traumatizing to him if mom says "hey can you make sure you pull back the foreskin when you pee"? And why does it somehow rob him of his masculinity coming from me? I also lecture him about proper nutrition but I don't think I'm giving him deep seeded body issues?
I'm trying to learn from you guys so a civil discussion (debate) is fine with me, but perhaps you can phrase your opinion is a way that seems slightly less judgmental.
Hey I've have had contact with my dad twice in 29 years ( my whole life ) so even though I had already worked out for myself how to keep clean when I was really little, my mum did give me the whole "you know how to keep yourself clean don't you ?" Chat. It certainly never emasculated me and left me with no bad memories or emotional scarring of an kind.
I can't begin to imagine why it would actually.
