Oh you are so deluded...
Just google it a little, and you'll find out that:
70% - 80% of women prefer circumsized over not.
Cut men are more likely to get blown, for obvoius reasons.
The cut rate in the US is going down because insurance doesn't cover
it anymore. It's actually pretty steady among middle and upper income
classes who have the spare cash, (about 400 bucks) at about 80%
getting it done. But then again, the upper class isn't in a breeding
frenzy like the lower classes. So the overall rate is dropping.
It's generally the infants' mother that decides to have it done, which
says a lot.
And it's becoming increasingly evident that it DOES cut the rates of
infectious desease, also for obvious reasons. (There are teams doing
entire villages in Africa to help halt the spread of HIV.)
Your use of the term 'mutilation' paints you as an biased zealot in
the least. And your statistical examples ignore other relevant
factors.
In any case, chicks like it more, and it's cleaner, that's enough for
me. My daughter says when she has kids, it's a no brainer.
