Are you cut?

Whether you are or are not, Ezra Klein considers the implications for your woman.

Hawkman -

Not to complain, BUT...

If the writer is right up front by disclaiming, "A fair group of these women were recruited through classified ads in an anti-circumcision newsletter," why would you treat the survey as anything but massively biased? This Ezra Klein guy sounds like a dweeb to me, and your linking to the article is a waste of perfectly fine pixels.

I liked this comment, tho':

"Man, I hate survey studies even worse than political polls."

Amen, brudder.

I couldn't agree more with the results of the survey, and no, I wasn't recruited through a classified ad by anti-circumcision newsletter.

The fact that millions of uncircumcised men raised in industrilized countries choose not to cut their male offspring should tell you something about the how these men feel about the benefits of not being circumcised.

The fact that their wives and partners choose the same for their sons should be further confirmation. I know. I am one.

IOW, don't cut off your "head" to spite me.

And the UN (I know, I know...) says being cut helps tremendously to prevent the spread of AIDS.
