If it were female circumcision it would be banned regardless of what parents want, as it should be. Having reached the point in life at which I no longer give two hoots what people think, I have made known to anyone who asks me that I think circumcision is a barbarian practice. I have asked members of my own family how on earth they can claim to believe in an omnipotent, infallible God and yet believe that every young boy he created is in need of improvement via the knife of a surgeon. There is NO justification for male circumcision.

My favorite is when I hear women say "eww. I would never.... with an uncircumcised male."
Yet you could tell that same woman her boobs are too small, she should have them enlarged, and she would be offended.
Another one: "Oh, but it's unclean" - How many UTIs and yeast infections and vaginal problems do girls get compared to an uncircumcised male? As an infant it's a bit more care to clean up while in diapers, but that's still not justification for the practice.
This is a form of sexism that is practiced upon men and it should shop.

There is NO justification for male circumcision.In your opinion. My opinion is different. You are not necessarily right, and I am not necessarily wrong, so lighten up.

You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.
