    My wife is European Jewish but not religious. I’m Hispanic. The number of her relatives who asked us about or had an opinion about our baby’s penis was infuriating and alarming. I got a bit harsh with my replies after a while and they clued in and shut up about it.

    Broke the cycle with my son. It was insane the amount of people who didn’t even belong to a religion that this is a symptom of, who were pushy about me having it performed. If my son wants to be cut, he can make that decision for himself later in life. All of the atheists I know, were the ones that were anti-mutilation.

    To the ~33% people who have downvoted this: you’re literally arguing against a person’s right not to have their body receive unnecessary surgical manipulations until they’re old enough to actually consent to it. Babies are not their parents’ property. Let people decide when they’re adults.
