    Well they do have an obsession with gay stuff, so maybe they prefer their young twinks cut?

  Mutilation is a strong word for it.

    I don’t think so. It’s a pretty barbaric practice, so it deserves strong language. I suspect the only reason it’s still prevalent in America is the momentum of long-standing tradition. There’s no reasonable justification for performing unnecessary surgery on a newborn’s genitals.

      I would say tradition yeah. A lot of women also don’t like uncircumcised genitals.

        In some cultures, men don’t like women who haven’t had their labia and clitoris removed. Does that preference justify the practice?

        Removing the foreskin removes thousands of nerve endings and desensitizes the glans.
