Yes, but I also saw THIS:

I don't understand at all how someone could think the alleged benefits would be worth cutting off a child's foreskin. That is the reason I challenged those alleged benefits you mentioned.

I know you oppose circumcision of children.

Reminds me of "Puppetry of the Penis" (~ PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS ~) that was showing in London last time I was there. Alas, my travel partner didn't want to see it so we ended up seeing Macaulay Culkin in some play. :/

I think anything that results in people feeling more comfortable discussing and viewing genitalia is a good way to make it easier for people to talk about the reasons for *not* cutting off children's foreskins. I fear that many people in the U.S. have no clue what the foreskin looks like or does...and so they barge ahead, eager to destroy what they don't understand or value, causing children to suffer for their ignorance.
