2nd doctor, wife arraigned in genital mutilation case at Livonia [MI] clinic

8. FGM is a nice way of saying removal of an entire sex organ, namely the clitoris.

It would be akin to the removal of the penis. Without a clitoris, women cannot orgasm, which is why these barbarians remove it: to assure a woman is "chaste and virtuous." Sometimes they also remove and/or sew together vaginal lips, leaving only a tiny hole for menstrual blood and urine to pass through, to assure the woman does not have intercourse before marriage. That of course causes horrific pain and infections.

Removal of the male foreskin does not affect a man's ability to have or enjoy sex. And it does not cause lifelong pain and dysfunction. Indeed, I know a man who had to have his foreskin removed as an adult because it had tightened so much it was causing pain upon erection.

Although I agree with you that routine circumcision is medically pretty indefensible, saying it is in the same category as FGM grossly minimizes what FGM truly is.
