Not everyone shares your "relationship with pain" either, particularly infant boys who pass out from the pain of their circumcisions. There's no "significant benefit" to strapping down a healthy infant and amputating a healthy & functional body part, often w/out anesthetic #i2

I think there are valid anti circumcision arguments, but the pain one is least impactful on me because they have no memory of it.

There's a term for that. It's called the Bill Cosby defense.

I'm not really sure how compatible those two situations are.

Bill Cosby stands accused of sexually assaulting women while they were unconscious, and thus unable to remember the event. Nontherapeutic infant circumcision is sexual assault that is also not remembered by the patient/victim.

If they are the same situation, why do the vast majority of those circumcised not care, while those drugged and sexually assaulted do?

Your premise is false. A recent study found that 64% of men who were cut at 3 months or younger view their circumcisions negatively. Many of those who view it positively or w/indifference don't understand what was lost...

64% of those circumcised, who chose to take an online survey they knew ahead of time to be about circumcision != 64% of people circumcisedpic.twitter.com/Hja5gL51ZM

Not sure what your point is (how else do you expect data to be collected?). And still waiting to see if the proposition that the vast majority of circumcised men don't care is anything other than your assumption.
