    I stand by the comment I made first time this thread came around.

    Circumcision is an almost beautifully-devious form of cult lock-in — the most precious part of the ever-fragile male ego, irredeemably and permanently scarred to adhere to a social construct beyond the owner's ability to control.

    As said here recently, it'd be one thing to circumcise a teen or an adult who has the power of choice, as part of their ascent into adulthood, quite another to foist it on a defenceless innocent.

    It leads to what we see here and what hotroddy implies (well, 50% of what he implies) — the learned disgust at what is completely natural. See fyoucher1's post just above.

    It's so weird to me, as I guess it is to circumcised non-Jewish, non-Muslim Americans.

    What I don't get is why circumcised agnostic or atheistic Americans would do anything other than rail at the abuse metted at them by their parents.
