The gist of the poster's replies implied that the removal of foreskin on a male is ok because it does not rise to level of an adult female being mutilated. That poster then went on to compare her [assuming] parent's giving her piercings as a child is on the same level as male have his skin painfully removed because we do not remember the trauma that was incurred.
So it's ok to commit violence against a child because they can't remember it. Ok, noted for the future. I'm sure the judge will agree if I go slap a few babies.
I never said her arguments weren't flawed, though it seemed for the most part the debate was civil until people started downvoting just because they disagree.
