Genital mutilation is something that should never be forced upon anyone. While female genital mutilation is banned in the US, male circumcision is highly prevalent. The procedure has very few positive effects, and also has many negative effects as many sensitive nerve endings are removed without the child's consent.
Most benefits of circumcision can be gained also by using a condom and having good hygiene.
If a boy vitally needs the procedure done medically or has reached an age where he can understand the surgery, its pros and its cons to opt to be circumcised, only then it should still be allowed for medical purposes only.

Women are already safe from this horror. His body, his choice.
