I saw this new page on Facebook about nurses taking photos of public circumcisions as violating human rights/child's rights...and it got me thinking...How prevalent is circumcision in this modern age?
I myself was a willing victim of this barbaric religious tradition of genital mutilation at the age of 12! I was already a freethinker then, but I haven't made the connection yet about circumcision and it's religious origins. I still believed back then that it was a medically necessary operation that all men had to have done to them, and a badge of honor to be cut. None of my elders told me otherwise. I couldn't blame them, they were just as ignorant as I was regarding circumcisions.
But in this day and age, when medical professionals have clearly stated that this practice is medically unnecessary, is circumcision still that prevalent among highly educated individuals?
Men, are you cut? Women, do you want your men to be cut? Parents, would you have your sons cut? (before the age of 18 that is, 'coz by then, legally, it's their bodies) and parents who have had their sons cut, why?
