So... since you're against circumcision when people you know have done or plan to do it...
What do you say to them?
Do you discuss the fact that they are removing the gift of choice from their child?
Or do they see it as something to be done... save the trouble later... I do not know any man who as an adult would willingly go have a circumcision, unless it was NEEDED. Removing the foreskin is not a necessity.
And while piercings are not a necessity... I know countless people men and women who have piercings done willingly.
And why do they circumcise at such a young age and not say when they are 5/6/7/8/9/10?
I wonder if it's the same reason people pierce babies ears? Easy to clean... manage.. less chance of infection because a child so young will not go fidgeting with either the penis or ears? And babies tend to sleep on their back... not sides. 🤷♀️
I get a sense on this thread of "British morality/standards" are best and the inferior cultures surely have no idea what they are doing/trauma /damage they are causing those babies. Some of you need to wind it in a bit and wonder why you have such strong disregard for other people's cultural practices... the poor savages.
And yes I agree that there are always elements of cultural practices that need criticism... like some practices in the U.K.
But why aren't you more outraged at the fact that a part of a lot of circumcision ceremonies involves the rabi putting his mouth on the penis...
