I think what sums up the irrationality of the pro circumcision crowd is simply this:

You would allow for the removal of a boys foreskin, often for aesthetic reasons, but be outraged if every girl was treated the same way and had their labia cut/removed/modified to "look better". These are the same. Barbaric practice.

I appreciate the baiting (weird word when talking about this I guess) by the "cut" crowd vs the "uncut" and take it in fun...nobody is attacking who you are, or the choices your parents made...but we are truly trying to stop the unnecessary cruelty directed at some poor young boys. If there were ever a medical need or if the boy himself at an appropriate age decided he wanted to be circumcised I'm sure we'd all support the operation.
