And again, as has been pointed out, that's not a health benefit. Parents should teach their children how to clean themselves properly. There is nothing wrong with a father showing his son how to clean himself. It wouldn't be awkward if you taught your child how to clean themselves as a step in graduating into bathing without supervision.

It's valid, as far as I am concerned.
I know you'll never admit when you're being ridiculous, but if you are equating the surgical removal of functional tissue from the genitals of an infant to selecting a name that can be changed later, you're being ridiculous.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
