Discussion Does anyone else have suppressed rage regarding their circumcision?

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere here, but I guess men generally just accept what was done to them as a child?

There are dedicated communities regarding grief around this along with resolutions so I do assume people just aggregate there instead, but I also feel that it is the most wide spread silent suffering

I'm female and European, so it's not really for me to say but I'll say it anyway. Here it's extremely rare and definitely not the norm like in the USA. I find the idea of mutilating children (anyone really, but if adults want it it's their choice) absolutely abject. Here it was very common to pierce the ears of baby girls and even that has stopped. There's absolutely no reason to mutilate little boys, even if a bit of skin doesn't seem that much. And no, it's not for hygienic reasons. European men don't have more infections and problems due to not being circuncized.
