i've always thought it's wrong to pierce girls' ears when they're babies. i think a lot of parents do this to make it obvious that their kid is female because they're insecure and get upset that some people can't tell if their baby is a boy or a girl. i think it's selfish on the part of parents, barbaric, and besides all of that, i think it's just plain trashy. but, in light of the recent "cut v. uncut" thread, wherein so many people called circumcision "body mutilation on the part of parents," (i'm not taking a stance on this either way, here in this thread) i'm wondering how everyone feels about the piercing of baby girls' ears. well?
