1) Not having to clean yourself as an argument DOES NOT help your case. It just makes you seem more dirty and disgusting.
2) Babies don't remember the pain doesn't excuse the fact that they DO feel the pain. It is more barbaric compared to an adult who can be treated with anaesthesia during the process unlike an infant.
3) Blaming your parents for not mutilating your genitals because it'd be painful to get it done now is the same as blaming your parents for not tattooing you as a baby with their favourite rock band's name.
4) Parents should not obsess over their child's genitals, that's plain creepy!
5) There are no universal benefits of circumcision, and the uncircumcised population is doing pretty fine as far as health is concerned.
6) What is considered beautiful varies between communities. There are several tribal beautifications, that can give you nightmares for days. You have no right to impose your beauty standards on someone else, including your child, especially when it's pretty much irreversible.
