[QUOTE="Simeon_Strangelight, post: 1178129, member: 6783"] I agree that this is the worst system. The Jewish custom of doing it very early on creates some physical trauma, but most psychologists including Stefan Molyneux highly overestimate the meaning of experiences in the early 1-2 years. There are psychologists who state that every tiny miniature difference in experience, in micro-aggression or loud noise create huge ramifications in later personality development. I once believed it myself as a young idiot who read Freud at age 17. Then I met plenty of people who had great physical pain in their toddler years through diseases - cried constantly as kids. They turned out absolutely fine. Most long-term trauma is rather connected with such experiences above or sexual abuse while being already very aware of things. And no -every country in the world can ban circumcision since it's an unnecessary practice. But I would punish it differently than FGM. There should be a fine for normal early-stage circumcision, but prison sentences for Islamic ones done at age 8, and certainly severe punishments for ones done by Muslims. And maybe that is what the lawmakers intended to do. Since they did have some Muslims recently, it was easier to ban the entire practice than to differentiate based on religion and direct practice.
