In one of my recent posts, I mentioned that circumcising a child for reasons that are not solidly medical or religious is something that should be thought about in terms of what the child may prefer, not what you want.
Someone pulled me up on this, saying that they consider mutilation because of religion a bad reason for doing it. (
Long rant against circumcision, with reasons why doing it for religious reasons is still preferable to many other excuses... )
It's also worth mentioning that male circumcision is usually a scriptually-mandated religious procedure; whereas female circumcision is, to the best of my knowledge, a culturally-mandated one.

On the other hand, sharing opinions on controversial subjects in an open forum is a surefire way of having my time wasted as well.
In fact, I'm going to go back to work now. Ciao.
