Rants of the day

I don't understand why parents feel they have the right to modify their child's genitals for mere cosmetic reasons. It's cruel, it's barbaric, and it's a violation of the child's bodily integrity. I think it's ridiculous that we have laws protecting girls from circumcision, but it's perfectly okay to mutilate boys.

Unrelated to this, I also despise evil nannies and am trying to out a particular beast via our local parenting groups.

Old people penis, on the other hand -- oh my lord, but I've cleaned up a lot of horrors in my life!

And another argument for removing ears at birth! Old people ears!

I find lots of food under my boobs, maybe I should cut them . . . oh, wait. I do want to do that.
