Well then, if human patients (baby boys in the case of male genital mutilation)
cannot hope to experience protection as good as that provided to animals, that
supports my contention that this instance of violence toward men and masculinity
(amputating the prepuce) exemplifies hatred (or at best, indifference) toward
male sexuality. The absence of any research studies to determine the
psychological effects of circumcision provides further evidence of aversion to
the subject of men's issues.
