The infants have no say in the matter, and it's well-known that those who do have say in whether their genitals are mutilated (i.e., adults) rarely choose to get themselves mutilated..

Don't you mean that it is well known that those who have their sons circumcised are circumcised themselves?

I'm not entirely clear on what you're getting at, but certainly the very nature of a "custom" is that it is something that tends to be passed down from one generation to the next. As for the fathers, I don't see how it modifies anything I said since the fathers were almost 100% circumcised as infants themselves.
