The truth hurts. What results in about 15 square inches of skin is ripped off of a little helpless boy. His sex life, and the sex lives of his future partners will be forever altered. Is turn about fair play in parenting? Should we do unto others what we've first done to ourselves? Wading into the mire of "this is not as bad as that type of argument," when we're talking about mutilation and abuse - that isn't healthy nor helpful. Screaming. Pain. Death. Permanent change. Nerve cutting. Yes, they're similar. Why does the phrase "I like people damaged and mutilated just like me" appear both in retrograde tribes, and also with the gay hipsters who run Q? Go figure. If you were deceived by a doctor into doing this to your sons, that's too bad. It's unfortunate that many mothers didn't see how such a thing could be damaging or to have some empathy about what might happen. Didn't they have bodies of their own to think about? "Hey, what if something like this was done to me?" Why didn't they think that?

I'm with Hitchens on this one.

My girlfriend was horrified when she learned of this practice. They don't do stuff like this where she is. So there's hope: Some humans don't do this to their kids. And even in Utah the circ rate is going down.
I'm with ya. The ignorance in most sectors of North American society (I'm in Canada) is staggering when it comes to MGM. I often debate circumcision advocates (or apologists) and now try, strategically, to keep my statements brief and cutting (no pun intended;): "Did you know circumcision amputates the majority of the pleasure-giving nerve endings in the penis?" When faced with that kind of statement, ppl begin to listen to reason. Anyway. I really appreciate your post. Keep up the good work!
