Mutilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basically, the only reason why circumcision isn't considered mutilation by some/most is "because I was done and I am fine*, it's great! Yeah!".

*The argument applies to a huge range of opinions:

I voted for the right guy, even though he's fucking everyone! (I don't want to admit I was wrong)
I bought the right car, even though it was clearly the wrong choice! (Same thing)
I believe circumcision is fine, because I was mutilated without my consent before I can remember, have no frame of reference over the choice and therefore it is A Great Thing To Keep Inflicting On Our Babies (tm)
