What do you guys think?
Over the weekend a group of men wearing bloodstained pants were all over town and it created quite the stir. Many people shared photos and opinions about the views expressed on their signs. So I reached out to their director and asked some questions. They are a non-profit that travels the country raising awareness about the dangers of circumcision. It's not a topic that we often like to discuss in this country but it's important to do so. Circumcision brings up many important questions about unnecessary surgery, consent, and so much more. Circumcision has many consequences including loss of nearly 20,000 nerve endings, decreased sexual sensitivity, can lead to infections and even death. Most supposed benefits of this procedure have been proven to be myths. Female circumcision was made illegal in the states decades ago but the practice continues for millions of male babies every year. It's past time that we have a discussion about this and agree or disagree with their tactics, this group got everyone talking this weekend.
