Nonsense to your nonsense!

There are numerous studies proving the medical benefits of male circumcision. Are those benefits significant enough to justify circumcision? That’s up to parents to decide, hopefully with the advice of their doctors.

I’m not “barbaric” or “primitive” because I think male circumcision is OK.

The “nick” is ritual, to satisfy Muslims.

But what they are doing is endorsing the enslavement and mutilation of women in a philosophical way.

Psychopaths, all of them. Psychopaths.

Male circumcision has some health benefits and is probably not necessary in our culture but does have a religious significance.

It is sort of debateable whether it is comparable to female mutilation which has no medical basis or biblical basis and is harmful to women.

[James C. Bennett]

Ritual genital mutilation, both male and female, is both abnormal and barbaric, however you want to put it.

There are about as many studies refuting those pro-mutilation “studies” as well.

The arguments for supposed health benefits of circumcision are as fraudulent and pseudo-scientific as those for anthropogenic global warming. The foreskin is a normal, healthy, functional part of the body, in both sexes. Otherwise it wouldn't be there.

If you believe in circumcision, then you can trot down to a surgeon and have yourself mutilated, once you are an adult. No one has the right to mutilate the genitals of his child, and very few adults would choose to have this procedure. It is child abuse, pure and simple.
