Yes, yes, yes. Disgusting mutilating practice. It does not look better to me or women in Europe, where circumcision is unheard of, unless your religion wants that. I did not circumcise my sons. I told them when they were teenagers the benefits and the risks. They learned it in health class too. They chose to stay intact. They thanked me for letting them have a choice about their body. I only know one man who chose to be circumcised later in life. That's his choice, but at least he had the choice.

Other Answers:
  1. Men do have a say, it's male infants who are unable to consent that don't.
  2. Obviously forcing sexual mutilation on a child is a human rights violation.
  3. It's usually newborns that get circumcised and they can't consent. Men can but the deed is already done so what does it matter?
  4. No. They cant say yes or no to getting shots. And later on u save them the embarassment of explaining a weird looking penis. It keeps it cleaner also..so its for the better.
