1. Raise the double standard high!

    97% of circumcision in the US is not Jewish. This is not "an attack on their religion" but an attempt "to advance the causes of righteousness and justice for all people" of all ages and sexes. Babies do not consent to have part of their genitals (that they may well value in adulthood) cut off, and retrospective acquiescence, where it is given, is neither here nor there.

    This measure specifies a long maximum jail term only because it was copied word for word from existing legislation outlawing the cutting of female genitals. The only changes were to make it gender-neutral. And female cutting is not necessarily "much worse" than male. The AAP recently flirted with allowing a "ritual nick" of girls, "much less extensive than male circumcision" to prevent worse befalling, and all hell broke loose, and they ignominiously withdrew the policy. When will boys get equal protection with girls?
