When are we going to stop subjecting our little ones to the evil act called circumcision?

Even male kids? Circumcision is now evil? I'm sure there are always arguments about different things. But it's evil?

Why do you think it is not? Also, your question "Even male kids" suggests that you think that it is evil (or not good) for female kids but okay for male kids. Are you aware that some kids die as a direct result of this act?

Don't know much about female babies, I know it's discouraged. However for male babies, there are reasons (right ones) it's done. Some would argue against it - we can't all agree - but saying it's evil is a stretch. Babies die from childbirth too, we going to stop giving birth?

Could you share some of these reasons that you are sure warrant the act on baby boys? Not hearsay or reasons passed down to you, but the ones you are certain of. Could you also try to look into why the act is discouraged for baby girls?

I'm not sure of anything. I can only read on the information available (& I'm not talking about what was passed down to me.. there are arguments for and against. What I can say is that, it's not evil.

It would be nice if you could list some of the benefits, or reasons why it is not evil. You said you aren’t sure of anything, but you seem to be sure that it is not evil.

Benefits: A decreased risk of urinary tract infections. A reduced risk of some sexually transmitted diseases in men. Protection against penile cancer and a reduced risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners. 1/2

I don't agree calling it evil for male circumcision. Though FGM is considered not to have health benefits to female and illegal in most countries. FGM can make it difficult and painful to have sex. It can also result in reduced sexual desire and a lack of pleasurable sensation

Many people argued FGM until it was eventually outlawed. Before then, it stood for many centuries.
