male circumcision removes pesky skin. female circumcision removes the entire fucking clit! you're an idiot if you think there's a double standard.
also, babies do not remember anything. hell, 9 months isn't even the gestation period for a human. the woman's body gets rid of the baby at 9 months because by the 12th month, the head would grow too large to fit through the birth canal. so, about 3 months after birth is when the child starts to become cognizant.
It's pretty clear what it said in that it doesn't matter for these practices to be the sole reason for saving or righteousness but it also doesn't affect anything should you still practice them. You don't even need to be a believer to grasp the concept when it is clear as crystal. There is no religious benefit anymore and it is just tradition.
Sorry, were you unaware that if a boy grows to an adult he can choose to take himself to the doctors and get the surgery performed? Maybe someone told you only boys under the age of 3 could be given a circumcision, in which case you can be forgiven for your ignorance.
Oh the men who get it done as adults, either for cosmetic or medical reasons, how many do think wished they had it done as a kid.
Jesus, why are we arguing over a useless flap of skin? It's even more ridiculous to compare it to female circumcision. Because they share a word?
what scar?!? I have never seen a scarred circumcised penis. If yours is then your parents should have sued the hospital for doing a bad job of it. The clean argument is NEVER void.. as long as little boys and older boys refuse to take proper care of themselves it will always be an issue.. especially for the WOMEN they are with. Very few men and even less boys actually care much about hygiene.
The practice is just as bad, it's just viewed as acceptable because it's been done so much, and thus most older generations see it as normal and keep doing it. I'm not american, I'm against any form of circumcision unless it's voluntary.
