I’m not sure about you, but there isn’t enough “evidence” to EVER convince me to cut off ANY part of my daughters’ vulvas. I highly doubt any woman reading this would actually consider it. Using “evidence” to legitimize child abuse is lunacy.

I need to ask, WHY is a mother discussing the sexual preferences of her son’s girlfriends with them? What else would a girl tell them? “Your penis is so small.”

Um, circumcision logic is such. It’s circumcision advocates suggesting anything needs to be removed to prevent (insert your favorite disease here) not us. Don’t equivocate.
