Reply #14: I have observed one. But if anyone is projecting, it is your good self...

Simply watching a circumcision doesnt allow you to judge whether the infant under the knife is suffering a lot of pain or a little. Likewise, I wouldnt watch a female circumcision and hasten to guess how much pain the girl is suffering.

Your statements are rather like sheep farmers and dog breeders who claim that docking the tails of dogs and sheep is a painless exercise.

FWIW, the Turkish men that I know (who are circumcised at 12 years of age) tell me that the process is quite painful indeed. One such person's prepuce still hadnt separated and needed to be pulled back by force.

But obviously you know much better than them, right?
