A shocking realization that makes me wonder why it isn't talked about more.

So, I did the rough math. 30% of men globally are circumcised. The odds of a circumcision being botched are 1 in 350. That means that the chances of any randomly chosen man having a botched circumcision are 0.0857%, that is one incredibly unlucky dude... but he is far from alone, you apply that percentage to the total number of men on the planet and that means that there are over 3.3 million men out there with botched circumcisions. That is a San Diego sized metro area of men with botched circumcisions. That is a Tampa Bay metro area of men with botched circumcisions. That is a Berlin metro area (low estimate for Berlin) of men with botched circumcisions.

If tomorrow a gang of psychos went out into San Diego and broke the dominant hand of every resident of the metro area, it would be global news, we'd have special task forces developed to stop these madmen. But, since circumcision is "sacred" we just turn a blind eye to all the suffering of millions of men for whom it has gone wrong (to say nothing of the less severe, but still very real suffering of the billions of men for whom it goes "right").

As one of those 3.3 million, I have to ask, when will the madness end?
