Letter: Skin deep
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: As one who met the knife at the age of eight days, I find the debate over circumcision just a little sterile. Surely it is the right of parents to determine how their children are raised. The last thing parents need is yet more "advice" from the concerned on how to do something that has been taken for granted since the beginning of time - parenting.
Men who feel "traumatised" by the loss of a couple of square inches of skin obviously have a very shallow perspective on what constitutes a real problem in life.
