But why? Mine has gone, had no choice and I blame Spock as it was the thing to do at the time but do not miss it.

Not least was a moral/ideological opposition to infant genital mutilation, the shift from the American medical norms of the 50s to the more enlightened medical norms of today, and the shift from religious/societal sexual repression of the past to the more open and healthy attitudes of today...
Also I got the impression that there was a fair bit of resentment towards one's parents, one's given religion, and the culture you're born into that demands part of your genitals removed. There seems to be a strong victim/survivor identity dynamic at work.
I guess a lot of MRA types are attracted to it, but after laughing at it, and listening to the arguments, I found I had a fair amount of sympathy for them. These are men who are upset that their genitals were mutilated without their consent, upset that a range of experiences and sensations (and sexual functions) are denied to them.
And it became clear that while the men advocating for foreskin regrowth were at least a little bit weird, the men and women arguing in favour of genital mutilation were a lot worse.

All the others are ritual mutilation.
