In all seriousness, can’t you see why the mother-disparaging aspect of it makes circ so much more upsetting to me? > [@Eliahna](#): > > And if she’s British, she’s a Gulf-Murdering Incestuous Mutilating Rapist, the worst kind of incestuous mutilating rapist there is! Frankly I have mostly moved past my flirtation with anti-Brit prejudice. Posting about that on here probably did not win me many friends, but I did get some help poking holes in the perspective- a win for me, and annoyed dopers fulfill their mission. I was mostly just really pissed off. But while we are here, part of me is surprised they didn’t make the Olympic motto, “There is no such thing as a society.” ---

You know what? I was circumcised as an infant in the early 1960s, a barbarous time indeed for male infants. I have never had a foreskin, and I don’t miss it. I. Don’t. Care. If **Try 2 B Comprehensive** can understand and accept my rejection of victimhood, then we can have a fruitful discussion. Otherwise, I have no patience or any interest whatsoever in manufactured victimhood. Unless you create the feelings of victimhood and mutilation, they don’t automatically appear in circumcised men. Let me reiterate: I. Don’t. Care. I am perfectly happy with who I am and how I appear, despite your attempts to make me feel less. (Did his head explode yet?) ---

> [@Southern\_Yankee](#): > > Sounds to me like someone wishes he had an extra 1/4 inch… Looks to me more like the OP has/had a perfectly fine life but decided they needed something to be whine about so they could somehow claim “victim” status. As an attempt at attention whoring or a bid for sympathy, getting all misty-eyed about something that he can’t even remember _and_ that the vast majority of guys who have had it done, don’t give a flying fuck about, is pretty lame. I wonder if the OP has confronted his own mother with his thoughts? ---

Probably his whining about being a victim of BP oil wasn’t working, so he found something else. One wonders what he’ll try next. ---

Yeah, really. Sure, it’s entirely unnecessary for it to be performed routinely, BUT, millions of Jews and Muslims for thousands of years, and millions of American gentiles for the past century, have each happily consorted with their preferred partner or partners or surrogate substitutes, plus had many hours of quiet self-enjoyment, and otherwise led fine lives, without apparently missing a beat over this. ---

[QUOTE=Try2B Comprehensive] Sound like 'dopers are mostly big fans of infant partial-penile amputation though. But again, I don’t think this discussion can happen in the pit. Have fun. I may stop in to fight just to vent. [/QUOTE] Your problem both here and in your BP threads is that your position may have some nub of underlying truth but your rhetoric and exaggeration buries your point in Teh Crazy. So your threads end up comprising trivially easy refutation of your crazyass over the top nonsense. In other words congratulations on your remarkable talent for poisoning your own well. ---

Care. . . . Your denial of your true feelings is evidence of the massive psychological repression exercised by your mind to compensate for your severe mutilation and penile amputation. You say – you may even _believe_ – that you don’t care, but, like women denying penis envy, you really feel deeply victimized and are compensating for it by a defensive mechanism of false expression. (And, yes, please, I’m joking my ass off here!) ---
