I've never had much experience with female circumcision, but I can tell you that male circumcision, 99/100 times, is an archaic practice held over from when genital infections due to bad hygene were commonplace, whereas they are much rarer now.
Missy, from what I understand, circumcised men outnumber uncircumcised in the US at a ratio somewhere between 2/3-1/3 and 3/4-1/4. In Canada and the majority of European countries, it's the reverse.
