Mom, why did you circumcise me?

Excellent documentary on this subject which is underrated in its significance.

To take a little boy before even the time he can even remember, take him from his mother and brutalise one of the most sensitive parts of his body  that will later be used in intimate connections - well that says it all... and none of the reasons given for this as a routine procedure bear scrutiny - it's a trauma ritual.

"you've encoded the brain with violence to a part of the body that's supposed to feel pleasure...and when it's done in the primal period that affects the child throughout life...it interrupts maternal infant bonding and it undermines the first developmental task of a human which is to establish trust...it's a human rights issue"
