You continue to engage the lie that it's simply a "philosopher" who wrote the blog post cited in the OP. He has a stack of degrees including in cognitive psychology. Not that a philosopher (at Oxford, no less) isn't equipped to use logic and facts in dismantling the dramatic methodological flaws of the studies purporting to show that male genital mutilation lowers HIV infection rates.
You continue to ignore that this philosopher's blog post mainly treats studies by medical doctors. So again it's doctor vs. doctor, as well as people who respect individual rights to bodily integrity vs. those who think "tradition" is an acceptable excuse to do damage to children - exactly the same rationale used by the female genital mutilators.
Fewer than 1 percent of Japanese males have had their foreskins removed as infants. How about I don't believe your claim independent of an actual citation?
