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.
