I spent my time reading about male circumcision, a thought provoked by my recent baby-care class and a slight possibility that the girl I am expecting will be a boy.
The only reason I even waste my time reading up is because of the possible social pressure a young boy may experience in certain parts of USA (currently 60% circumcision and dropping).
It is no longer an issue elsewhere, and never has been in Europe. Except of Jewish and Muslim faiths.
After reading the pros and cons, I did not change my mind about the procedure. It does not take a genius to figure out that being born in Europe I am NOT circumsized, which never really bothered me (mostly showers in USMC, or the gyms).
My opinion?
It is a BARBARIC customary mutilation that should be illegal in the same degree as female circumcision is today.
