Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

    Interesting that surgically removing a body part without consent isn’t as alarming to you as spanking

      There are no benefits to spanking for the child, only negatives. There are benefits from male circumcision, and the negatives appear to be alleged rather than proven. (Most men that claim reduced sensation would likely do well to use lube, and stop using a kung-fu death grip.)

      Given that circumcision has some limited benefits to the child, and spanking has none at all, yes, it makes sense that it’s a lower priority.
