I don't understand what it is you claim to disagree on. I gave you indisputable facts demonstrating the foreskin's many functions. That's anatomy and isn't up for debate, so what is it you disagree on?

That circumcision is bad. It’s fine. It has sociological normativity working in its favor, abd the pros are minimal if they exist, and the cons are minimal if they exist, which is why I didn’t protest when my wife wanted it.

Not true. It's indisputably painful and harmful. How bad it is is subjective, meaning the only person who could theoretically make that call is the penis owner, but he can't even do that because he has no point of comparison. The proof comes from intact men loving their foreskins

Only because convincing yourself of that is easier than admitting you were robbed of pleasure: "False beliefs predict increased circumcision satisfaction in a sample of US American men"https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/EauVkp3YQe8KXU5qtyac/full …

Or, *or*, we can't possibly know because no one will experience both, and therefore since it is a harmless act that does promote social normativity, that it's fine to do and not to do, and the only thing not fine is @-ing people who just happen to tweet the word "circumcision."

Except we do know; we have empirical evidence the foreskin, ridged band and frenulum--the parts ablated during male genital mutilation--are *the* most sensitive parts of the penis: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2006.06685.x … It's not "harmless". It permanently ablates functional, innervated tissue.

Hey, cool, still doesn't mean people need to just run random Twitter searches for "circumcision."

Also, the American Association of Pediatrics (whose word I'll take on such things over you, Mr. Anonymous Twitter Guy) falls short of saying they should be universal, but DOES say the benefits outweigh the minimal risks, so you can take your tweets elsewhere.
