It’s very interesting that you only describe the exhibits in the truck, but not the science and and basis for the advocay for allowing a boy to keep his foreskin, his whole body. Then, you go on to repeat the absurd statements of the Canadian pediatrician (Canada has very low rates of circumcision, btw), who actually claims that removing healthy tissue that contains 20,000 highly sensitive nerve endings (think fingertips) will improve sexual function and pleasure, revealing that she not only knows nothing about infant foreskin (other than to remove it) but also adult foreskin. Seems she needs to visit Losquardo’s exhibit!
Also, asking members of the Jewish (Mr. Stern) community about circumcision is like asking Muslims about FGM. Can you spell d-e-f-e-n-s-i-v-e?
“broad insistence on calling circumcision “genital mutilation” and equating it with the more sadistic practice of female genital mutilation, or FGM.” Apparently, you didn’t watch the circ video — sadistic? Strapping a days old infant in a spread eagle, pinching the highly sensitive forskin with pincer shears, scraping the inside of the foreskin with a tool to separate it from the glans (think tearing off your fingernail), and then cutting the foreskin off? What’s your definition of sadistic? So: cutting the genitals of females is Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and cutting the genitals of males is Male Genital Mutilation (MGM). Get it? Maybe they cut babies because grown boys and men are not coming in to get their foreskins cut off for improved sexual function and pleasure!
