Well, I suppose it can be a blow to his ego, but then - his body has already been altered, kwim? A woman who criticises her DHs intact status, is attacking his natural state - and telling him she wants part of him cut off. It seems to me that, like as a parent, I see every part of my children as precious, a woman who loves her husband should feel that way about every part of him (not counting a tumor or something!). Does that make sense?

Circumcision is not a "parenting" decision. Period. Not your body, not your decision.

Yep, I am very happy to have broken the cycle.

: Genital integrity should be a basic human right. It's unnecessary and barbaric and when you force it on a minor child, it's a human rights violation.

Exactly! If you really look at the act w/o cultural blinders, strapping down a baby spread eagle and cutting off a part of his/her genitals is absurd and disgusting. Doesn't sound much like a parenting decision to me (it does sound like something much less benign).
