After researching and watching videos on the “Bris” or the “Brit milah” I am more than disturbed. What in the hell am I talking about? The wrong rite of circumcision.
Many religious folk refer to Genesis 17, Abraham and the Covenant of Circumcision, as a reason for performing a snippy snip on the male baby’s unit on his eighth day of life. Luckily for the parents, no consent is needed on the part of the little guy because he is definitely underage.
What’s more, the blood must be sucked from the infant’s penis after it has been cut. That is a difficult statement to spit out without barfing. But wait, there’s more.
Old school dictates this blood sucking must be mouth to penis. Improper and nonconsensual conduct, with the possibility of disease to boot.
This brings a whole new meaning to the spit or swallow debate.
I believe medical science has come a long way since the Old Testament, but apparently tradition has not. Parents stand around and laugh, eat food, make jokes, enjoy music, and listen to chanting while they play down the baby’s screams of protest during a paid cut and suck procedure.
This is a great job for a pedophile.
Why isn’t this illegal? Apparently age of consent laws that are supposed to work in the females’ favor have no bearing when it comes to penises. There are also laws on the books in America specifically against the cutting of girl parts. Sorry, little guy. No equal rights for you.
That really sucks.
