There are memes like “when you have to prove that you’re jewish” or crass jokes about people standing out due to their lack of foreskin, but i remember hearing that a huge swathes of American men are circumcised - it’s like 49%. Jesus.

If literally half of every men are circumcised, why is it even a remarkable topic to Americans? How did it become such a meme?

    Probably from the Northeast or Great lakes area then? It’s half the US population, but it’s not evenly distributed. It’s much less common on the west coast.
