[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “locker room argument” is one advanced by some people who advocate for circumcision. And, in my opinion, it is one of the weakest arguments for performing this bizarre surgery.
Cutting part of a child’s sexual organ off so that he will “fit in” is ridiculous. We don’t encourage our children to dress the same as their peers, get the same haircuts, listen to the same music, watch the same shows and movies, drive the same cars, etc
Also circumcision is ont the decline. More and more parents are saying "no" to circumcision. In the United States, your intact son has just about as much of a chance as “looking like” the boy in the neighboring locker as he does “looking different” – nationwide, only 56% of our boys are cut today.[/quote]

I don't think anyone here is advocating circumcision.  There are arguments against (and for).  The issue here is a wife who insists on her way, regardless of her husband's opinion, and has a fear that her husband will do the same.  I don't think OP has to convince anyone here that circumcision is a bad idea for her child -- this isn't our son, we don't care.  She does have to convince her husband, or work something out.  That is the point she keeps avoiding.[/quote]
