Also - yes, truth hurts. That's why insecure uncircumcised men call circumcision mutilation, to avoid the truth, to avoid the reality that the benefits circumcised men have suggest uncircumcised men are flawed, the reality that it is only natural for adults to prefer cleaner, healthier. safer, and happier partners. Anti-circumcision activists (insecure uncircumcised men) call circumcision mutilation to avoid a hurtful truth.

They make a classic horror. Consent is not what defines mutilation; injury does. Something with clinically proven benefits doesn't destroy or mutilate the penis. Phimosis and penile cancer, however, mutilate the penis. Neither men circumcised as a result of their parents' choice or as a result of their own adult choice are mutilated. And besides, informed parental consent, once again, is not a consent violation. They have their own imaginary interpretation of these words - anything that will further their self-admitted goal of misinforming and radicalizing circumcised men. And by the way, their figure about 5% of young men resenting their status, is absolute hog shit. The idea that a huge amount of circumcised men resent their status in general is hog shit. The movement against circumcision is a small room with walls painted in impression they want to create. It is not a window into the real world.
