I think the parent is just pointing out that the outrage seems a bit disproportionate. There are far more damaging things a parent can do that most people accept, whereas the actual effect circumcision has on your life is basically zero.
- Brotkrumen 10y agoIf that's the argument, I'm not convinced. We as a society try to influence the saner parts of what parent mentioned, such as values and pox parties. Passing on genes, well we generally don't want to prevent that, because, contrary to forbidding circumcision, the cure would be worse than the disease.
