Later puritans took a similar view. Sylvester Graham associated any pleasure with immorality. He was a preacher, health reformer, and creator of the graham cracker. Masturbation turned one into “a confirmed and degraded idiot,” he declared in 1834. Men and women suffering from otherwise unlabeled psychiatric issues were diagnosed with masturbatory insanity; treatments included clitoridectomies for women, circumcision for men.

Graham’s views were later taken up by another eccentric but prominent thinker on health matters: John Harvey Kellogg, who promoted abstinence and advocated foreskin removal as a cure. (He also worked with his brother to invent the cornflake.) “The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering anesthetic,” instructed Kellogg, “as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment.”

Kellogg was a freakish nut. It horrifies me to read about some of the stuff he promoted and the quackery of the 19th century.

Nice way to twist a headline. She is not going to jail for not circumcisizing. She is being held in contempt for not following through with a court order she agreed to in a parental plan. Did you even read the article?

quit posting random crap too like your jerky

Fuck the parenting plan, it's a barbaric and primitive practice.

Also, the jerky made me LOL. A lot.

Sure is nice to have opinions and be able to voice them, huh?

There are clear benefits to circumcision, not understanding the issue?
I'll definitely circumcise my kids if I have a son. Not worth the potential risks.

Pretty obvious you dont have a child. Nor do you understand that which you're talking about. I'm sure somewhere on the internet you're a big deal though.

Same place you are.

The benefits are overstated outside of developing nations.

Any medical benefits? I'm only aware of cosmetic appearance differences.

Pretty sure just recently you were on TWs ass for his BS thread titles. What do you call yours? What you're crying about isnt what the article describes.
Im sure people should trust you with their child's welfare. Personally, I'll take my doctor's advice. circumcision for a lot of people, me included isnt some barbaric religious thing like you believe it is. Its a health issue. Trust me when I say I know many people who are adults, that have dealt with this and do to health issues have, or are going to be getting adult circumcissions. I dont care what they do in Papua New Guinea or Namibia or some other hell hole. Keep reading your college textbooks, you're not the first person to take an anthropology class.

Most Dr's wont push for it one way or the other. Its a personal preference. There are many medical reasons that mostly become issues later in life that circumcision benefits.

Nothing to do with anthropology. Was born out of a conversation with somebody who has had children and holds the same opinion.
