The Truth About Circumcision - MTP451

Co-Host Georganne Chapin (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/intact) This very special episode is part of Podcasthon.org going on this week. It's an international effort to raise awareness for charities of podcast hosts' choice. I am thrilled to participate, and I have chosen to highlight Intact America, which is the foremost campaign in the USA against circumcision of male infants. Georganne Chapin is the Executive Director of IntactAmerica.org. She joins me for a frank and sometimes shocking discussion that will serve to give any and every man 20/20 foresight about foreskin. So what inspired Georganne to become such an activist for a men's cause, and why did she write her book, This Penis Business: A Social Activist's Memoir? Why is the USA basically the only country left on earth that still cuts boys? I mean, given that female circumcision is universally considered mutilation, why is the situation with boys any different? What were the weird myths that brought about the perceived need to circumcise boys to begin with, and how are doctors finally starting to speak up against it? Apart from the obvious pain and trauma needlessly inflicted upon babies, why is circumcision a bad deal for men for our entire lives? What are we missing out on by missing our foreskins? And how is the procedure just another cog in the medical industrial complex? This podcast indeed sheds necessary light on a very real problem that receives FAR too little attention, let alone outrage. The first step is education, and the next step is--of course--leaving our own sons intact.
