Foreskin is normal, circumcision is not...

Informational visuals about the harms of male genital mutilation (circumcision) and the normality of the human prepuce (foreskin).

Circumcision is an ancient superstition that took over our nation, violated our men and fooled our women. It only takes an open mind about 30 seconds of research to realize that circumcision is a SCAM. This man stopped to show his support for a Bloodstained Men protest. He has saved several nephews and friend's babies from genital mutilation. #bloodstainedmen #stopcuttingbabypenis #i2 #foreskinisnotabirthdefect #hisbodyhisrights (at In-N-Out Burger - Pleasant Hill)

The truth is that most American parents have NO idea what they are signing their sons up for when they agree to circumcision. The procedure is nothing short of taking a knife to an infant’s body while he screams for mercy. This is no way to welcome a being to Earth...

Some Americans demonstrate that they are incurably delusional with their rabid defense of male genital mutilation. Some people are in such denial that they believe babies only cry from being strapped down, and that they eventually fall asleep during their circumcisions... Another common myth, also demonstrated in the attached graphic, is that the Plastibell circumcision device is “cutting-free” and completely painless. American doctors have sold circumcision to parents as if it’s nothing more than a belly button wound. Parents have no idea that the foreskin is first ripped from the glans before it can be excised, as the glans and foreskin are fused together in infancy and early childhood/adolescence. Thankfully, more American parents are following the advice of the European medical community, which has condemned American physicians for cutting the genitals of baby boys.

“Do the benefits of male circumcision outweigh the risks? The U.S. Centers for Disease Control -- echoing the 2012 policy statement of the American Academy of Pediatrics -- have recently suggested that they do. What many Americans are not aware of, however, is the fact that the United States is not just unusual, but actually unique among developed nations in finding such widespread medical support for infant male circumcision. This support originated in the late 1800s, when doctors promoted the operation as a "cure" for masturbation; today it comes primarily from doctors' trade associations -- such as the AAP -- that protect financial and other interests of physicians who continue to perform such surgeries. Doctors in peer nations, by contrast, along with the medical associations that represent them, tend to see the U.S. circumcision ritual as more of a cultural habit, not something rooted in sound medical science.

Circumcision removes a substantial part of the penis, which is not just "a piece of skin." The foreskin is a specialized, retractable sleeve of erogenous tissue that protects the head of the penis, can be manipulated during sex and masturbation, and amounts to about 50 square centimeters in the adult male. In recent years, more and more circumcised men have begun speaking out in favor of leaving baby boys' penises intact. According to one recent poll, fully 10 percent of circumcised U.S. men wish they had not been circumcised. Many argue that future generations of boys and men should have the chance to decide for themselves whether something as significant and personal as an irreversible surgery on their sexual organ is what they really want, when they reach an age of understanding.” ~Morten Frisch, M.D. & professor in sexual health, from the article: Time for U.S. Parents to Reconsider the Acceptability of Infant Male Circumcision

They may have circumcised your baby because they wanted to make some extra money, or maybe they circumcised your baby because they had a religious agenda. Regardless, they didn’t tell you about the functions of the male foreskin, because no parent in their right mind would deprive their son of such an important body part. American doctors have no plans to stop injuring baby boys. The circumcision industry has made sure that our medical texts have no mention of the structure and function of the foreskin, and that our doctors are not educated about normal penile development. The American medical community has made circumcision “part of the package” when a family has a boy. Intactivism is a grass roots movement. It is up to we, the people, to educate our friends and family, because they deserve to know the truth. American parents are decent people and they don’t want to hurt their babies, but they’ve been taken advantage of by a criminal medical establishment.

If you circumcise your son, you can kiss his purity goodbye. You will never see him truly sleep in heavenly peace again.

American medical professionals continue to promote male genital mutilation (circumcision) because of alleged “health benefits”. Beside the fact that these “benefits” have all been discredited by the rest of the medical world, American circumcision advocates never seem to be aware of the functions of the male foreskin.  Think about how foolish this sounds: “I have no idea what the foreskin does or why it is there, but cutting it off is healthier...” We’re talking about a “DUH!” level of medicine -- if you’re going to promote the amputation of a body part, shouldn’t you be aware of the structure and functions of the part in question?

Bloodstained Men & Their Friends recently concluded a 14-day protest through the Northeast/New England area. The tour finished with an appearance on SiriusXM Radio with Sam Roberts. Jody, a nurse, called in to defend the genital cutting of male infants. Having worked for the Mayo Clinic, a facility well-known for its preposterous circumcision advocacy, Jody parroted the typical “UTI”, “Penile Cancer” and other bogus claims. Brother K asked Jody a simple question: “What is the structure and function of the human foreskin?” The nurse could not answer the question, and she had an emotional breakdown. We see this all too often; medical professionals are stopped dead in their tracks, finally facing their own guilt and ignorance. It’s a tough pill for them to swallow...

One of the most common responses we hear from people who see our protests for the first time is that the bloodstained suits are "scarring" or "traumatizing" for children. It's quite ironic; these people have such strong cognitive dissonance that they don't even realize we're trying to protect children from ACTUAL trauma.

Which is more traumatic for children? Being strapped down and having their genitals ripped, crushed and cut... or witnessing a human rights protest?

In the age of the internet, smart phones, and social media, the bloodstain is necessary to get the public's attention.

Circumcision study halted due to trauma A new study found circumcision so traumatic that doctors ended the study early rather than subject any more babies to the operation without anesthesia. The researchers discovered that for those circumcised without anesthesia there was not only severe pain, but also an increased risk of choking and difficulty breathing. http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9712/23/circumcision.anesthetic/

What parent would knowingly and willingly sign their precious child up for harm? American parents are decent people, and when they learn the truth about circumcision they reject it across the board. The male genital cutting rate in the United States is rapidly falling, as more parents gain access to accurate information about the important functions of the foreskin. Circumcision is a brutal assault on a baby, and it is a devastating injury to an adult man.

Protests work, that’s why dictatorships try to suppress them.

During times of oppression you either fight back or surrender. Do you have the courage to stand up for what is right?

Perhaps the most bizarre excuse for circumcising a baby is the Matching Family Penis argument. Don’t you think people would identify family resemblance through other means? Such as, “You have your father’s eyes,” or, “You have your father’s nose...”

[brianointacto]

What if doctors told the truth? I bet you’d be hard pressed to find a parent who would say, “Yes, please cut my baby’s penis.”

[brianointacto]

HE MAY BEG, HE MAY CRY, HE MAY THREATEN HER... When a man claims, “My son will wonder why his penis doesn’t look like mine!?” as an excuse to circumcise his baby, it’s usually that the father does not want to admit that his own penis is damaged. He wants to circumcise his son so he doesn’t have to face the brutal reality of his own mutilation. Some women are bullied and threatened until they go along with their man’s whiny orders. But once a mother learns the truth about the horrors of baby circumcision, over her dead body would ANYONE dare cut her precious son... Don’t let him bully you, Momma. Protect your son from genital mutilation.

CIRCUMCISION: SECRECY AND SHAME Before telling us to take our protest elsewhere, this mother gave a double middle finger up to the Bloodstained Men and a loud, “Fuck you!” Apparently, this woman wants to keep her son in the dark about the fact that she hired a doctor to cut his genitals. If a baby is old enough to endure the abuse of genital mutilation, then the 9-year-old boy he grows into is old enough to know what was done to him. Answer this question, American parents: if penis cutting is so shameful, why’d you do it to your son?
