a big difference, you say? other than cosmetic, i don't know. removed breasts can always be augmented. other than breast feeding (and i don't know that the mass of the breast is necessary for that).....
cancer? breast feeding? which is more important?
the foreskin is there for a purpose.
it is nothing a little personal hygiene, 5 seconds, water, and a washing can't handle.
men who haven't had a foreskin OBVIOUSLY don't miss it. irrelevant.
the few medical instances where grown men need it, fine. there are always exceptions. but if the problem is the foreskin not stretching to retract, it is amazing how the skin CAN stretch, if done in a regular and purposeful manner.
but no, it is easiest to chop it off.
i think there should be a movement promoting automatic breast removal of all females before the breasts have a chance to start developing. prevention can never start too early. think of the reduction in instances of breast cancer, and the saving of hundreds of billions of dollars in health care.
