That is not a particularly controversial point; I think pretty much everyone agrees now that genital mutilation of babies is wrong.


Speak for yourself; here in America only a minority of people are really concerned about male circumcision and it is widely performed for religious and non-religious reasons. You are also ignoring the very large population of Muslims in the world, who are generally not opposed to circumcision.

One of the great things about the Internet, though, is that you are free to express a minority point of view without having to wait for some editor to approve of it. This is true regardless of whether or not you choose to post under your real name.


Not sure it's "everyone." In the US, about 58% of male babies are circumcised, and I'm sure the rate among families who are not recent immigrants is much higher.
