The Circumcision Wars

Some referred to circumcision as "male genital mutilation", cynically seeking to tar it with the same brush as the far more invasive and painful practice of female genital mutilation.

Fuck this guy, seriously. The comparison of anti-circ advocates to nazis was particularly distasteful.

check the other discussions tab...it's very nice to see the bulk of other users agreeing that circumcision is outdated and wrong.

What a revolting little article.

Circumcision didn't become "suddenly controversial in Europe in June". It hasn't been controversial for a very long time because we just don't do it. It's as simple as that.

In fact, here's a list of European countries in which less than 20% of men are circumcised: Iceland, United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Slovakia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Austria, Belarus, Cyprus and Georgia.

Most of those countries have far less than 20% and the number is still dropping. In Scandinavia it's effectively zero.

It doesn't infringe religious freedom. I am a Christian and I am absolutely against circumcision for any reason because my religious freedom does not extend to harming others.

I am not circumcised. If I wanted to be, I would go and have it done. My sex life is none of my parents' business: by the time I was old enough for the appearance of my cock to be an issue (it's not) or to contract STDs (I don't), I was old enough to get it done myself.

"Religious freedom" doesn't give you the right to violate Human Rights.
