The so-called barbarism of circumcision is less traumatic that ear-piercing.
No offense to those who aren't circumsized, but frankly, I think it's nasty looking.
We circumsized our kid, and I'm glad we did.
Are you kidding me!? Have you ever witnessed a circumcision?
I have, once upon a time when I was a nurse. This is how it went:
Place naked, screaming, day old, infant spread eagle, on his back, in plastic mold (made especially for circumcision).
Strap restraints at ankles and wrist, arms and across chest of screaming infant.
Doctor pulls foreskin of screaming infant and slices off foreskin with no anesthesia.
Place gauze with infused antibiotic petroleum jelly over penis.
Place diaper on screaming baby.
Clothe baby and try and console infant boy who had surgery performed on extremely sensitive part of his body with no anesthesia.
After witnessing this I swore that none of my boys would be circumcised. I guess it helped that I am not Jewish and my husband is from Europe.
There is no way that my daughters went through this when they got their ears pierced.
