I feel like the prevalence of circumcision in this age has a lot more to do with cultural inertia than any sort of religious doctrine or political leanings.
Yea, my wife and I decided to have our son circumcised. He's 14 now. If I had a chance to re-do it, i would choose to not have it done. At the time it just seemed like the normal thing to do. Sorry son. 😕
Most of my male friends growing up were from liberal families and nearly all of them had their genitals mutilated at birth. It's a USA thing, because of that cornflake guy.

For a lot of people, "it's just what you do"

Maybe society could consider that cutting off part of babies’ dicks who can’t give consent isn’t necessarily something we should “just do”?

I think it's mostly because "that's what happened to me" and "what about their future spouse"

It's really mostly an American anti-masturbation thing.
