The anti-male feminists of the United Nations unsurprisingly push circumcision as a panacea.

They are wrong.

In fact, it is barbarism, and should be banned worldwide.

My sons were circ'ed by a doctor, not a barber.

I'm sure you planned to say something to the effect of "...except where people are complying with their religious belief..."

Right?

[Honestfreedom]

LOL. There is nothing wrong with circumcision. My cousin who is a urologist always said that ending circumcision would give him more business. I was circumcised at 8 days of age as was my son. To call that genital mutilation goes beyond ridiculous. I was so traumatized by my circumcision that when I was 11 years old and knew that my parents were not practicing religion I wondered if I had been circumcised since I had no idea what it really was. I enjoy sex immensely and have absolutely no desire whatsoever to have a foreskin. To call it barbaric or mutilation is frankly dumb.

Overall Statement: Medical Proof of Circumcision Benefits by Edgar J. Schoen, MD, FAAP

http://www.medicirc.org/summary.html

Compelling medical data much of it accumulated in the past 2 decades, have conclusively shown that a boy circumcised as a newborn has multiple lifetime health advantages compared to one with an “intact” foreskin.

The U.S. stands alone as the only country in the world (including developed, developing and undeveloped countries) where neonatal nonreligious circumcision is routine for physicians and their unwitting patients

I would have thought that this is practiced in Israel. Is that not true, or is Israel not considered a country?

God commanded it for Israel. The United States, as the article points out, has an 80% circumcision rate and in the past it's been much higher. Could the United States be composed primarily of the descendents of the ten lost tribes of Israel? Coincidence? Or something more?

And for the record, I don't find it barbaric. Wasn't there just some study that circumcised males have a much smaller chance of contracting HIV then similiar non-circumcised males? And I always thought that feminist liberal women would be against circumcision?

It is interesting that when I was born (1975), it wasn't even asked if you wanted your kid to be cut. My father says he was a bit surprised. Don't know the case now.

[cripplecreek]

I'm happy with my circumcision and I'll recommend it to my uncircumcised friends.

[tallhappy]

Yet, the barbaric practice...

Oh yeah, this is an unbiased article.

It IS an absurd practice.
It's always a way to identify an American male....dead or alive.

Why does it still exist? Ignorance, stupidity?
I know the answer! Hand waves in air frantically!
Because there is no N.O.W. advocating for men's rights in this country. Lol. If women were getting circumcised for no good reason, the practice would ALREADY be ancient history.
Ow! What a horrible thing to do to a baby boy!

[luckystarmom]

I don't know if it should be banned, but we didn't circumcise our son. We didn't see a need to do it.

My parents were very upset. They thought we were crazy.

I was so traumatized by circumcision I kept pulling on it every chance I got for 2 decades.

On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up, and she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone

I scared them, they acted out of fear
