Re: You do it to yourself you do - and that's what really hurts
I'd imagine you are being sarcastic, but he is referring to circumcision. (You know, the thing that is commanded in the bible, that involves the surgical removal of the male foreskin)
​
I actually withstood A LOT of family pressure, and refused to have either of my sons submitted to the barbaric act of circumcision. I couldn't morally alter their bodies in such a significant manner without their consent.

Changing your child's body in such a way without having the ability to receive their consent is wrong, regardless of which one is "far worse" and "more widely accepted".
