Genital Mutilation: our sons bodies

When I was in high school and college I can recall learning about the atrocity of female genital mutilation. It was not humane, much less kind, it seemed barbaric. 

Fast forward to today, 2017. I have a sweet son and we did not circumcise him. We left that choice to alter his body for him to make. I just can not grasp how intelligent people can mutilate their sons because "it's the norm". It's really not the norm! Not in the US, not anywhere in the world.

I want to scream it from the rooftops! It makes breastfeeding a challenge. It creates a traumatic situation for teeny tiny baby boys. It increases the risk of infection. I just don't know where to begin. And all the while, people just simply are not educated.
