A Feminist On Circumcision

By The Daily Dish

Feb 1 2008, 5:05 AM ET

Strangely compelling:

Foreskin may arguably not be a huge deal, but I think it's simply wrong to remove a part of a person's genitals without their consent. However, I don't think circumcised men are horribly "mutilated." I don't think that there's anything weird or unattractive about it. I don't think that they're all psychologically scarred. And I think it's shitty to suggest otherwise.
