Holy fuck

I am against circumcision (male and female) just on general principle, as neither have been shown to have any significant benefits (especially female, of course) and, well, it's getting a piece of you chopped off. I sympathize with those faiths that require it, but think that you should let your kid grow up and decide if they even want to be a member of that faith at the risk of their, well, member.

So news that Malaysia is thinking about using "mass circumcision ceremonies to promote racial harmony" utterly horrifies and disgusts me.
