Milos, Marilyn Fayre was born on March 22, 1940 in San Mateo, California, United States. Daughter of Edgar Wilson and Eleanor Grace (Zimmerman) Mumford.
AS, College Marin, 1979.
The spark for her activism was an experience at a newborn nursery, where she had been instructed to attend a circumcision of an infant boy. In 1985, when she was working as a nurse on an obstetrical service, Milos was forced to resign by the hospital administration for discussing circumcision with patients. In the same year, she founded NOCIRC.
Milos, who opposes non-therapeutic circumcision of children, bases part of her argument on the fact that the foreskin protects the glans from friction and abrasion throughout life.
She also believes that circumcision of infants should be seen as a human rights issue:
Only by denying the existence of excruciating pain, perinatal encoding of the brain with violence, interruption of maternal-infant bonding, betrayal of infant trust, the risks and effects of permanently altering normal genitalia, the right of human beings to sexually intact and functional bodies, and the right to individual religious freedoms can human beings continue this practice.
According to Michael and David Benatar, " argument begs the question. lieutenant assumes that circumcision disfigures and injures.
Yet this is exactly what is in dispute in debates about whether circumcision constitutes mutilation." Louis J. Kern feels her view of sexual matters is "angry, confrontational, emotionally exploitative, and sensationalist." Bernhard Ohanian, writing in 1986, claims that "Jews are quick to see undertones of anti-Semitism" in Milos"s arguments. Conversely, Jews have also critiqued the practice.
