One of the early advocates of circumcision in the US was John Harvey Kellogg, who was rabidly anti-masturbation, and promoted circumcision as a "cure" and "punishment" - he also promoted pouring acid on the clitorises of girls as "cure" for the alleged evils of masturbation. He wrote, "In females, the author has found the application of pure carbolic acid to the clitoris an excellent means of allaying the abnormal excitement, and preventing the recurrence of the practice in those whose will power has become so weakened that the patient is unable to exercise entire self-control" #deranged #evil #sick #circumcision #GenerationIntact #intact #EndMGM #EndFGM
