Driving is still called driving in India despite being vastly more dangerous,

While still being the same basic procedure. A male circumcision differs from even a female circumcision as a procedure, let alone from the other forms that female genital mutilation takes. The difference is not just in the level of danger involved, but rather the wider range of procedures that necessitates the use of a blanket term.

I don't have a smeggy dick, the presence of smegma is from poor hygiene.

And poor hygiene is pretty inevitable when dealing with a bedridden patient who needs a nurse to wash him. Yay! Context!

Nothing of value.

You disagree that "circumcision is male oppression!" loses some weight when any number of millions of happily-cut men can show up and say "I don't feel particularly oppressed by it"? Because that doesn't seem like a very sensible position to hold. You're going to have far more luck with the "cosmetic surgery on people who are unable to consent is bad" angle, rather than trying to turn it into a story of gendered oppression (especially when the female variant is unambiguously a matter of gendered oppression, for reasons stated above).
