@MrJewishWarrior

Actually its anti child cruelty. I'm fine with Jews. Just not with this one practice. Think about it, if your god hates foreskins so much why are we all born with them (and females with their anatomical equivalent in the clitoral hood)?

@tipoomaster

Also, look up Jews Against Circumcision.

I am a Muslim and my parents had me mutilated (lost the foreskin) and this is against Islam.

Circumcision is not even mandatory in Islam, and it's not to be done on children.

Fuck, the government has to intervene. Fight fire with fire.

[idricool]

If you want to circumcise, fine.

But don't force it on children.

Thank God we can regrow it through surgery.

@NichtNathalie, you only PRESUME that FGM is more harmful to sexuality than male circumcision is! Check out this study online (it's not unique) in NEWSCIENTIST (2002) by researchers Emma Young et al.They investigated 1836 Nigerian women; 45% had been circumcised.

The study found: "circumcised women experience sexual arousal and orgasm as often as uncircumcised women”.

It found that attainment of orgasm was frequent and equal in both the Circumcised and Intact Nigerian women.

@supermomsa Don't be an idiot, a man doesn't lose his sexual pleasure once "mutilated", a woman does. And no, my boyfriend has been circumcised since he was 4 years old because of some health issue, I think something was swollen or something like that, I don't quite remember. My ex-boyfriend wasn't circumcised and I didn't find it as appealing. That's all I wanted to point out. My boyfriend still has fun with sex, he only needs more lube to masturbate, that's all.

@NichtNathalie, if you found his circumcised penis "much more hygienic", then your boyfriend is probably a douchebag who can't handle simple body hygiene. And I can tell you that female genital hygiene is harder. If women don't exercise good genital hygiene, they will smell down there too (smegma), and be very susceptible to UTIs (more so than men). So, tell me: would you like to simplify female genital hygiene by cutting off a girl's inner labia?

[NichtNathalie]

I honestly don't think male circumcision is that bad. My ex was circumcised and even though he complained about "the missing piece" (Lenghtwise), I found it much more hygenic plus he was very easily aroused, also a total pro.

[BobbaBobzy]

It's all wrong. I'm not religious but religious people, if God wanted guys to have no foreskin he would have made them without foreskins.

[Dannyxlz]

Here's a thought, what would happen if female circumcision all of a sudden became a religious tradition of some random religion?

[calabiyou]

parents who circumcise their children deserve to have children

[LexFeather]

Ban it already and everywhere else. This is messed up sh*t. This comes from someone who is not male or a men's rights activist. I just think circumcision is wrong and a side product of religion going bad...blame everyone who performs this surgery. Why are we as a culture were conditioned to see circumcised as more normal? Sorry if that's a bit graphic imagery for you.
