Some tribes also engage in cannibalism, infanticide, and yes as you said forms of body mutilation including subincious , female circumcision, etc, but do we engage in that? No.
For the men here is my standard message from facebook:
"I am circumcised and hate it. Circumcision is sexually diminishing and it affects women too:
http://www.sexasnatureintendedit.com/ Because of a parent taking the choice over my body, I like 200,000 other men are restoring their foreskins to regain sexual sesnitivity and undo some of the damage of circumcision:
www.tlctugger.com www.norm.org And am hoping for foreskin regeneration to get everything I lost back:
www.foregen.orgHand test: Run your fingertip down the back of your hand. Now run it down the palm of your hand. Clear difference. Notice how even after you stopped touching the palm of your hand you could still feel the line you drew with your fingertip. Your palm has Meissner’s corpsucles (touch-sensitive nerves) that the back of your hand does not. The male foreskin has 20-70,000 of these. “Just a flap of skin”? Obviously not Everything lost to circumcision
www.wholebabyrevolution.com/The-Lost-List.html"Only being able to see in black and white, for example, rather than seeing in full color would be like experiencing an orgasm with a foreskin and without. There are feelings you’ll just never have without a foreskin."
"The greatest disadvantage of circumcision is the awful loss of sensitivity when the foreskin is removed. . . . On a scale of 10, the intact penis experiences pleasure that is at least 11 or 12; the circumcised penis is lucky to get to 3."
"The shock and surprise of my life came when I was in junior high school, and I was in the showers after gym. . . . I wondered what was wrong with those penises that looked different than mine. . . . I soon realized I had part of me removed. I felt incomplete and very frustrated when I realized that I could never be like I was when I was born—intact. That frustration is with me to this day. Throughout life I have regretted my circumcision. Daily I wish I were whole."
"it took me 2 months after circumcision for the glans to get calloused, it doesnt take years of rubbing against clothes trust me
I was so excited to try? my new exposed penis after the incision healed only to want to kill myself for what I had done"
"Within minutes, three feet of veins, arteries and capillaries, 240 feet of nerves and more than 20,000 nerve endings are destroyed; so are all the muscles, glands, epithelial tissue and sexual sensitivity associated with the foreskin. Finally, what nature intended as an internal organ is irrevocably externalized..."
"Without nerve endings,one cannot feel --
much as without eyes, one cannot see.
Fran P. Hosken"
And aesthetically(visually) it is mutilation a cut v intact penis visual to show the damage:

Even if you were cut, you can restore your foreskin and undo some of the damage.
Their body their choice, if they want to change their body when they growup then let them do it, men and women choose it sometimes, but to force this on a child or baby is wrong. Because this was forced on my own body I have to undo it.
