    Multilating childrens genitals for appearance is pretty fucked up.

    That choice should be left to themselves and no one else. Unless absolutely necessary of course.

    The supposed benefits are very very small and the majority of the world is doing absolutely fine without removing the foreskin of children.

      Maybe go back and read all the text you ignored about the other benefits. Would love to see you link any established peer-reviewed studies that can back up your neanderthal level reading comprehension.

        I don’t give a fuck about those “benefits” which have miniscule impact and can absolutely be achieved by means other than cutting a baby’s foreskin.

        Adults can cut their dick off if they want, surely a lot of men would do it if those benefits are so impressive.

        Parents should not have the freedom to mutilate their babies because they say so. Only if a doctor recommends it because of an actual disease (phimosis or whatever).

        That is basic ethics. Don’t make unneeded permanent choices for a baby. If it is a decision that can easily wait until the baby is an adult, it is evil to make it for them.
