MALE FEELINGS.
Listen carefully to what men have to say about their own circumcisions.
These are direct quotes, compiled by John Erickson and Jeffrey Wood.
I think I could have accepted a deformity that was an accident of nature, but I can't accept that someone did this to me.
My feelings about the doctor who circumcised me are too violent to describe.
I have never been able to accept the fact that when I was a baby someone cut part of my penis off. The sheer monstrousness of it haunts every waking moment of my life.
Sometimes I'm beginning to make some sort of adjustment to it, but then I see an unmutilated man in a shower or magazine and I become overwhelmed by uncontrollable feelings of outrage and disbelief that I was made the victim for life of something so sick.
There's something very wrong and very frightening about a society that systematically tortures and mutilates babies.
I am Jewish and I hate the tradition that robbed me of my best part.
I was circumcised when I was five, seventy years ago.
I felt rage then and I still feel rage now.
The worst thing about circumcision is that it produces circumcisers.
I wish I could circumcise every uncircumcised man in the world, so they'd all be like me. I don't have a foreskin and no one else should have one either.
Butchers!
I was circumcised by force when a child, and it has ruined my entire life as far as I'm concerned.
Fear, pain, crippling, disfigurement and humiliation are the classic ways to break the human spirit.
Circumcision includes them all!
