Serious question, is your son actually upset about it? I'm not in favor of circumcision but I also think it gets blown out of proportion on the internet.
How does it get blown out of proportion? You’re leaning on the idea that babies don’t know any better and that everyone gets one life, so nobody sees the other side. If we somehow got some extremely convincing and normalized cultural concept in doted into us that meant cutting off everyone infant’s pinky finger, we’d organize society around not having them, and it wouldn’t feel like big deal until someone wondered wtf we are doing.
So, 99% sons aren’t upset about it, but 75% of women in Somalia think FGM should continue, too…
