Justice for Men & Boys 
For me its quite simple. Even if the health benefits claimed were true they are marginal and hardly justify the risks. As for the cultural “marking” then I see no reason not to apply the same standard that is applied to tattooing. Which is illegal on persons under 18.Adult males can then make their own choices on aesthetics, cultural/religious marking or on supposed health grounds. The point for me is the operation itself is medically unnecessary except occasionally and therefore there is no justification for such an assault on an infants person. Would anyone advocate tattooing babies?

I’m unaware of any case where circumcision has been necessary.

If a man stuck his hand down a boy’s trousers and rubbed his penis, that man would be put on a sex offenders register, jailed and be in fear for his life for the rest of his life.
So how come it’s socially unacceptable to touch a boy’s penis without consent but it’s socially acceptable to cut off his primary sex organ (the prepuce) causing lifelong sexual dysfunction and loss of pleasure and, in the case of (Jewish) mohels, suck the blood from the wound on the boy’s penis post-mutilation?
I don’t know about you guys but if I could turn the clock back to when I was 7 yr old, say, I’d rather have had a stranger rub my penis than cut the most sensitive part of it off. Ideally , I’d want neither, but I’m sure you can see the point I’m making. I suspect the average woman would admit she’d choose an unsolicited finger over having all her erogenous tissue chopped off.
So why in God’s name is Rolf Harris in jail and viewed as scum while doctors, imams and rabbis who amputate a sexual body part from boys are viewed as pillars of the community?
If anyone from the media is reading this, I’d like to ask you why you censor comments like this while Mike Buchanan doesn’t? The Guardian banned me repeatedly for making points like this under articles about FGM. The enlightened people at the Guardian seem to think FGM and MGM are different issues. And here was I thinking males were human, too.
