That doesn't excuse the cultural propaganda that makes some uneducated people think it's gross to be uncut.
It has nothing to do with cultural propaganda. I like it better, just like I like "innies" for belly buttons more than I like "outies." That's a surgical procedure too, if you want to split hairs. It doesn't mean it's propaganda, or that I've somehow been manipulated. I just prefer to see one over the other.

If I have a male child he will be circumcised.

It happened to me, and I'm happy with the results.

Therefore it follows that I will continue with something I am happy with, in absence of evidence which provides a convincing reason to deviate. No such evidence exists which has convinced me of such.

QED?

And by the way, comparing female circumcision to male circumcision is like comparing vitamins to nerve gas.
