Well that's good because I am accusing them of child abuse.

You know, I was going to apologize for snapping at you after looked at what else you wrote and having slept on it. Like the HIV thing which is quite interesting. But you seem intent on defending circumcision for no other discernable reason than "a lot of people do it"

So are you just as chill with cultures that practice FGM?

They are permanently disfiguring their child's body without the child's consent. It is almost as deplorable as other forms of mutilation as flower bowl shoes.

I stated it was lesser; 'almost' was certainly wrong to say entirely. Flower bowl shoes are another tier and a bad comparison to make. The intent was only to highlight it's nature as permanent shaping of the body.

I live in America. I was circumcized. All my male partners have been circumcized. I speak not of other continents.

Bloodletting had a long cultural history in Europe, circumcision still has extended history in America. And regardless of which culture, I point no fingers at them, only of the practice. Papua New Guinea; rape capital of the world statistically. Some cultures have aspects that are dirty, but I do not wish to portray any culture entirely this way.

I suppose I started the argument on a misinterpretation then tripped on my words and made bad comparisons multiple time. Looks like you've won this debate.
