my argument is that female genital mutilation is akin to circumcision....it's just that in our society, circumcision is normal and therefore accepted, yet we balk at female genital cutting.
I think it's a double standard and just goes to show how arrogant our society can be: Circumcision - performed to keep things clean and avoid infections FGC - performed to reduce want for sex therefore reducing chance of infection Circumcision - "small piece of skin removed". FGC - can be as little as removal of the hood and tip of the clitoris. Circumcision - has its roots in tribal/religious practices FGC - has its roots in tribal/religious practices Circumcision - barbaric practice that should be done away with FGC - barbaric practice that should be done away with.
