I'm not really going to delete it. But I am just really discouraged sometimes by the absolute idiocy I see in humans on a daily basis when it comes to certain issues, and I don't know if my silly little blog makes a difference. Why even try when the assholes seem to far outnumber me? Maybe I should just go breastfeed my intact toddler in a corner and shut up about it. But then I see comments like this:
and this:
..and get asked if I have a Facebook fan page (I don't, as I'm convinced that approximately four people would "like" it), and I am reminded that even one changed mind matters, and there IS intelligent life out there listening. So I will get back to
There are others (with more brain cells) listening.

I would be a fb fan :)
ReplyDeleteKeep blogging Erin, it does matter! And yes, I totally agree you should start a fan page!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how I stumbled upon your page a few weeks ago, but I quickly read through all of your posts...by the end I thought to myself "Wow, she just SAID (ok, wrote) what I've been THINKING!" So know you are not alone! I, for one, rarely comment on things, but I often feel as you do: that the dummies far outnumber those of us with some common sense and the ability to apply it to our daily lives. Maybe, just maybe, that's not necessarily the case - I'm holding out hope! That last comment/pic you posted was priceless, and she probably has NO idea why her comment was oh so ironic.
ReplyDeletePS - I would be a FB fan, too ;)
Alright, well I would be FB fan #4! And I bet we could get more. . . .
ReplyDeleteLots of love from the mom of an intact, breastfed, happy baby boy.
Amazing that I had to explain to a friend yesterday as I wiped my intact 8 month old that no I can't pull the foreskin back because it is attached! She was shocked and then asked well how do they cut it off? I pointed her to your website and she wept and nearly threw up and the videos! She said if she has a boy she will fight for him to stay the way "god" intended. So your information because of easy access saved a not yet born baby boy! And I bet she will share with others!
ReplyDeleteKeep it going dear. Keep on sharing with the rest of the world that breastfeeding is the best option even though sometimes it is not easy. Some people might disagree with you but you might shed some light upon others and that is what matters =)
ReplyDeleteI'd totally be FB fan #5! When the dumbasses come out, it's because you've poked something in their brain that tells them they might be wrong, and then they get all defensive. If they were secure in their choices/decisions they wouldn't need to waste their time on you, so know that all those crazies coming out just means you're getting through to them, little by little.
ReplyDeleteYou would have at least 6 FB fans! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeletei have thought the same and then i think even if i convince one person to leave there son intact then it is worth it
ReplyDeleteKeep blogging! I found it a couple of days ago and you do make a difference! I would like your FB page too!
ReplyDeletei love reading your blog. as a breastfeeding, co-sleeping mama to an intact, rear-facing toddler who does not have many like minded people in her life it's nice to come here and get affirmation that i'm not crazy!....also, did you choose that negative comment just because it was barely english? seriously, nice choice. i was totally lmao imagining this ranting lady "i em smert. s.m.r.t. that smells fart. derpderpaderp. formulas grew mah brainz." maybe she just doesn't proof read. but man o man. if you want to prove through writing how smart you are you should probably use the right 'your/you're' and write complete sentences (as i skip all my capitalization).
ReplyDeleteI think the way you write is totally abrasive. BUT, the things you say are true, and it's totally the way my mental commentary goes, so I'm not actually complaining.
ReplyDeleteI didn't circumcise my son, and the reason at the time was because my husband wasn't circumcised and I knew it was totally medically unnecessary. This totally went against the grain in my own biological family, but I was just thankful I didn't have to put my newborn son through that painful, cruel procedure, so I didn't even attempt to disagree with my husband's choice.
However, I'm pretty sure it was YOUR blog that made me totally aware of all the OTHER reasons why circumcision is basically evil. And it has made me SOOOO thankful that I didn't marry someone who insisted on circumcision because I would have so much guilt if I had done that to my son. I totally think it should be illegal, and it makes me want to throw up when I even think about it.
So, I'm a supporter.
I just saw comments by "Lauren" on the c-section post and that was not me... just wanted to clear that up. The above comment WAS me. Maybe I should call myself something else.
ReplyDeleteAdd me to your list of FB fans, should you decide to start a page. (I've already been looking for you there)
ReplyDeleteYou're one of my favorite atheist, anti-circumcision, pro-nursing advocates! :D
