American response about pierced ears on infants vs circumcision

Glad to know that the American public is more supportive of genital mutilation that removes half of the skin on the penis, threatens bodily functions, is extremely painful to the point of causing PTSD amongst some infants, and is irreversible over a piercing that does not remove any tissue, reversible, doesn't threaten bodily functions, and causes minimal pain because one is done on males and the other done on females.

This is beyond male disposability.

When was this survey done? And that's not a very large sample size. Who were the people being surveyed?

The results don't align with what's actually happening. As of kids being born in 2009-2010, the rate has dropped to around 50% nationwide on average, and it's as low as 25% on parts of the west coast. The highest is the midwest, where it's still 70-80%.

It only continues to decline.

Whelp I have a son and a daughter and I didn’t do either of those things to them! I mean it’s a valid point anyway

My issue with this poll is that the question for circumcision doesn't specify male or female.

Not sure if I believe this, Nevada and California have super low cut rates. So this seems very skewed with reality of those areas. But I still agree with what is being said.

My problem with this is that the figures are a bit misleading. The sample sizes are plenty big to be accurate for the nation as a whole (assuming the survey wasn’t conducted improperly), but there’s no way the statistics are there for individual states. For the left side, the states would have less than 50 respondents on average, so the level of certainty is abysmal. The issue then is that the figures try to show that every state except Vermont is in favor of circumcision and opposed to infant ear piercings, which can’t possibly be supported by the data.

How does this effect the persons health in any way, it’s unnecessary skin, I got cut as an infant and don’t really care

This is a poor comparison. These are a matter of preference, I care to know the proportion that think it's acceptable.
