I feel like the prevalence of circumcision in this age has a lot more to do with cultural inertia than any sort of religious doctrine or political leanings.
For a lot of people, "it's just what you do"
Maybe society could consider that cutting off part of babies’ dicks who can’t give consent isn’t necessarily something we should “just do”?

that's how much dick we should be able to keep after being born.
Yea, my wife and I decided to have our son circumcised. He's 14 now. If I had a chance to re-do it, i would choose to not have it done. At the time it just seemed like the normal thing to do. Sorry son. 😕
It's really mostly an American anti-masturbation thing.
I think it's mostly because "that's what happened to me" and "what about their future spouse"
