Theory explains why 25 percent of cultures cut male genitals


Almost 25 percent of indigenous societies practice some form of male genital cutting, ranging from circumcision to the ritual removal of a testicle. The reason, reports a Cornell scientist, may be to reduce pregnancies from extramarital sex. More subtly, it could be to reduce conflict among men.

    This is absolutely stupid. This guy’s theories don’t make any kind of sense. Circumcision makes it less likely that a man will impregnate another woman? No sense at all.

    Circumcision keeps men from fighting each other? Less than stupid.

    I guess today anyone can call himself a “scientist”, as long as his “science” follows the lib/fem agenda.
