Circumcision is best done at a very early age. If you don’t want your children circumsized than don’t have it done. It is really that simple.
Early age? Child still feels pain, and is NOT able to make that decision for itself. Let it be until that child is an adult.

[b]lol, what? Uncircumcised men can get circumcisions whenever they want if they chose to. There is a reason why most do not do it, but most circumcised men wouldn't really understand now, would they?
It's understood alright - adulthood is not the time to be getting one, although I knew a couple of boys in their teens who got them when I was younger, after nagging their parents for years and years.

really?

Men who are uncircumcised can retain moisture between their penis and foreskin. According to Shape, this creates the ideal environment for bacteria to grow, and can increase the risk of infection not only for men, but for their sexual partners.
“Female sex partners of uncircumcised men are at increased risk of bacterial vaginosis,” Supriya Mehta, Ph.D., an epidemiologist at the University of Illinois at Chicago, told Shape.
A circumcision also decreases the risk for a urinary tract infection and penile cancer, although both these conditions are fairly rare to begin with, the Mayo Clinic reported.
In addition, having a foreskin naturally increases the chances of having problems with the foreskin. According to WebMD, some of the most common foreskin troubles include inflammation of the penis head, having a foreskin that is too tight to be pulled back, or having a foreskin that becomes trapped behind the head of the penis after being pulled back.

How can you understand it if you've never experienced it or had a choice in the matter?

It should be outlawed. Leave the babies alone, in their natural state as intended.

My point was clear: parents do not always act in the best interests of their children. Yes, governments are often corrupt and dysfunctional, but giving parents 100% authority over their children is not always beneficial. Most parents are good parents, but plenty are not. Children are arguably better off in a foster home then with a parent that burns them with lit cigarettes.

True but irrelevant. Parents shouldn’t be making such decisions for children.

What percentage of males are circumcised in that area.
Is it the majority?
Do you think women would answer differently if the majority of men were not circumcised?

The concept known as "consent" baffles me
