Here is a history about this form of celebrated mutilation that you defend so vociferiously. I'm not deflecting from what happened to this little girl, I'm saying that it's a crime no matter how old the victim or their gender.
Stop lying to yourself and stop reacting emotionally and pretending the male circumsicion is anything but religiously condoned and celebrated mutilation.
Don't lecture to me about how it's pure and holy when the victims are infant boys and how bringing up the actual victims of such mutilation is somehow ignoring the plight of this girl. Defending it in the name of orgasms is sick.
ETA: Since there seems to be some issue with the timeline at the link I provided, here is another, which speaks to the similarity in claims made in circumscion in both males and females, they both make the same specious medical claims and they're both pretty much disproven. I posted the other link based upon its citations, and it's timeline format, without exploring the rest of the site, which had some questionable material, so here is wiki on the matter:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_male_circumcision#Medical_concerns
It seems that many people need to spend some time doing some reading on this very emotional issue, the knee jerk reactions of what's apparently a well worn debate and the cliques that seem to have been preorganized and swarming wasn't really necessary, but whatever.
Go learn stuff.
There are citations and everything and clearly you need the education on topic since all you've done is rant and rave emotionally while literally attacking me on a personal level for presenting facts and arguing that ANYONE HARMING A CHILD IS BAD. Even if they're doctors, even if they're in a clinical setting, even if they're white Christian/Jewish males doing a religiously prescribed procedure with zero medical value except in very rare cases. That site has some of those rare cases too.
I wish you well in addressing your ignorance and you deeply held and offensive cultural biases. This is why Trump won, by the way, that cultural superiority and contempt runs through a lot of Americans, it just erupts up when one least expects it, as when one is throwing an emotional tantrum to defend genital mutilation in some circumstances and not others.
It's wrong ALL the time. Period.
