by the way, you're totally ignoring the plethora of studies that say circumcision decreases risk of HIV, oncogenic types of HPV, HSV-2, penile cancer, cervical cancer in hetero partners, phimosis, balanitis, and UTIs. randomized controlled trials show no clinically significant difference in sexual satisfaction or function between circumcised/uncircumcised.
depending on society, there can also be vast differences in aesthetic preference among sexual partners
complication rate is exceptionally low, and risks are very minor
basically, it's a minor elective procedure with a handful of mildly beneficial effects and very few risks. the only reason to get worked up about it is if you're an uninformed bigot, which you are.
