1) I've never really understood the hubbub about male circumcision. Maybe because it happened when i was too little to remember anything, while female circumcision *tends* to be undertaken around puberty and more or less for the explicit purpose of reducing their sexual agency, which is why it is monstrous. Male circumcision seems to just be a matter of taste (although i can only speak from my experience, and don't talk about that sort of thing with others. Don't know what the data says)

Well, there's evidence that circumcision reduces male sexual pleasure as well. My objection to it though is more based on the fact that it's forcing a surgical procedure on someone who cannot give informed consent.
