I disagree. I think it has a few benefits, but more importantly, the bar is pretty high in terms of the dumbest thing people do.

- rms 19y agoI can think of exactly one benefit. It means you can basically ignore the hygiene of your male genitalia. Beyond that, no, there are no benefits, other than permanently reducing sexual sensation by 40%. This was desired by antisex physicians in the 20th and 19th century, when it was believed to be a cure for masturbation, so circumcision caught on in the USA. It doesn't compare to female circumcision in its most extreme form, but it is comparable to female circumcisions of just the clitoral hood. I was referring specifically to the society of the USA when I said our society. Male circumcision isn't really popular anywhere else, except Israel. What dumber things are done in the USA today?

This is a laundry-list question, so I'd have to ask, what kind of stupid? A low return on investment stupid? A Darwin Award stupid? A Pointy-Haired boss stupid? I actually like your question; it's pretty open-ended.
