I was just curious how long it would take for Americans to support a man's right to control his own body, including the right to keep his foreskin. I support the right for men to decide if THEY want their foreskin but nowadays, why do women (particularly) get to determine if their son's genitals get partially removed or not? I believe in a man's right to choose. If a man wants his foreskin removed, then by all means, he should get it removed, but why has this decision been placed in the hands of legislators, some of whom are female?

I mean, you don't see male American politicians advocating for female circumcision. I'd really like to see a shift in our outlook as it pertains to male genital mutilation (i.e. circumcision).

The same purpose it always held.

Why do you care about the decisions parents make for their kids? Do you like being told about the bad decisions you make as a parent? You probably do not and fight for your "right" to be a parent and do what you find best for YOUR kid.

So don't circ your boys.

Others will continue to do so.

Get over it.

And you might want to keep in mind that male vs. female circumcision it is VERY different in intent.

My argument is that it's not the parents' decision.

I can't show you a law because unfortunately there is no law banning male genital mutilation.

I never asked you for that.

I asked you for the law saying it was illegal not to circumcise your child.

I don't understand what your point is. It's not illegal to circumcise your child. I am saying that it should be.

Unless you're Jewish you can choose to copy them or not.

Of course I think you mean when are we going to stop allowing parents to whack off Johnny's little wanner. I do hope soon, I feel sorry for guys it's not cool at all. You grow up and realize, hey, this could've felt even better than this.
