Secular parents of male infants worry about whether or not the foreskin should be removed so their little boy can grow up to \"look like dad\" or to avoid imagined bullying in the locker room. Medical experts and public health organizations argue back and forth about whether circumcision is medically necessary, while \"intactivists\" advocate that removing an infant's foreskin without their consent is mutilation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eUncut: A Cultural Analysis of the Foreskin\u003c\/i\u003e takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the foreskin and its contentious position in contemporary Anglo-American culture.
