And personally I don't care if a parent chooses to circumcise their son or not. I only care whether the decision was made with the boy's best interest at heart, whatever it was.
So, then, how about removing a clitoris? To either of you? Same reasons, they're doing it because they have their daughters best interest at heart, whatever that is, hard as it may be to accept. Do you care whether or not parents choose to remove their daughters clitoris? I don't harangue people for circumcising their sons, myself....but the things that people say, sometimes........
See, that's where the "coming to blows" comes in, lol. If we rail against the one, for it's idiotic non reasons...how can we fail to rail against the other...for the -same- idiotic non reasons?
IMHO, Rob E nailed it. We're all white knighting in the case of the girl, and saying fuck em, in the case of the boy. We're so used to it, we do it casually as a matter of speech and civil conversation between purported non-savages.
We are still living in the age of cavemen mentality and to be honest, it will take a few more generations, perhaps even more, to get rid of this mentality unless it is genetic, in which case, we will always look down on the "weaker sex", and try to protect them. A "me Tarzan, you Jane", attitude........
