It's nothing to lose your head about.

It was routine at the hospital at which I was born. So it was no big deal.
It seems to me that folks ought to find something else to get so exercised about.
Please, not at dinner!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_circumcision easiest one to read.
Actually, the Muslims circumcize at a later age, around 10 or 11 if I recall.
The so-called barbarism of circumcision is less traumatic that ear-piercing.

The circumcision of male children is a central feature of both Judaism and Islam. It is also important in many African and New World cultures.
Many consider it a privilege to be circumcised and be in conformity with the sacred and honored traditions of the Jewish people. It represents being brought into the eternal covenant between G-d and the descendents of Abraham and Sarah through the Mitzvah of Mila (circumcision)
"Thus My covenant will be marked on you as an everlasting pact" (Genesis 17:13)
Methinks echos of anti-Semitism are found here.
As a Christian who knows it doesn't make one better or worse morally, I cannot fathom that God would command his people in old covenant times to do something which health-wise is "barbarism."
I still have occasional swelling.
I recommend that lady-friends come see for themselves.
I was circumsized and am happy I was. These feminist-style male "activists" need to get a life.
LOL!

'Cut' isn't as pleasurable for the lady either. I've said it before...a circ'd penis is no better than a dildo; an intact penis is a whole different animal
er, that's "circumcision."
If you can't hack it, don't do it.
This statistic says otherwise:
"In Korea, more than 90 per cent of men have been circumcised, usually in their teens and twenties."

I wonder why they wait so long. Not that they follow the Bible, but the basis for doing it is biblical, and it is supposed to be done when the boy is a newborn.
I totally disagree with you. The people I see most against circumcision are liberal females.
