So if the head of a penis is super sensitive then presumably the job of the foreskin is to protect this delicate body part. Why then would anyone want to remove this natural defence leaving such a sensitive part exposed to potential damage or pain?

There is no good reason. It is child abuse and mutilation.

But I’m not even talking about the morality of it (I agree that it is abuse and mutilation) but isn’t it a completely dumb idea to begin with?

Proponents will argue circumcision prevents the extremely rare chance that the foreskin could develop cancer, but it is kind of like saying cutting out your tongue would prevent tongue cancer.

It's like saying all woman should cut off their breasts to reduce the risk of cancer. He's one of the biggest fools here.

But that was because she had the specific gene that causes breast cancer so it’s not really the same.

I'm pretty sure her mother died from breast cancer also.

She did. Other female family members too I think.
It is a particular gene which means you are very likely to get breast and I think ovarian or uterus cancer too and so it is fairly normal for women who carry this gene to take preemptive action.

I think Christina Applegate had a tumor in one and opted to have both breasts removed also.
