RE :”I find it odd that the (marginal) benefits of male circumcision — all of which are available by other means — still seem to still pass as a valid excuse for those who seem to realize its unacceptable on other grounds.”

I don't see ANY drawbacks to it (done properly) let alone it being ‘unacceptable’, I only see positives.

I am glad my parents made the choice they did for secular reasons(not Jewish or Muslim). My mother told me the Jewish hospital had the best doctors in that area at the time which is she went there to give birth.

Key word is being done properly. Unfortunately all surgeries have risks. Sure there are medical benefits to circumcision but do they outweigh the complications? That’s why most pediatric groups worldwide (US, Canada, Finland, UK, Netherlands) do not recommend it.

I thank God that as a Polish Catholic my parents had me circumcised as a new born.

I have never met any circumcised males that wished to revert.
