I'm just saying it tends to make you sound...unreasonable. That's all.
You are probably right, and to be quite honest I don't entirely know why I have such an intense visceral contempt for infant genital mutilation. I mean, other than for what it is, I did grow up in a culture where it's customary (though thankfully the rates are plunging) and my own genitals were mutilated. It doesn't even bother me all too much that I was mutilated, though I suppose if I were given the option I'd want it back - I can always get rid of it again! But truly, I'm fairly content.
But, for some reason, somewhere in my subconscious, I've become totally and viscerally hostile to the mutilation of infants. I honestly dunno why exactly. I suspect it's because the mutilation of infants just flies in the face of my total value system, and I've never been much for irrational rationalization of my principles.
