Dear WHERE IS MY SEXIST POST I think Rambi and I both agree that whatever you call them we do NOT approve of either, AND that female "whatever" tends to me MUCH more severe than male "whatever". If male penises were being cut off willy nilly (so to speak) then it would be exactly the same. But it isn't EXACTLY the same. However, Rambi and I are against BOTH. OK? But we aren't going to interfere in the affairs of other countries to stop it. And we aren't going to violate the constitution to stop it here. But we HOPE it can be stopped here without violating the constitution. I DO hope that is clear.

You are wrong again, both are mutilation and both are labeled circumcision. Of course they are. I consider both to be mutilating. But the gamut of procedures for the female is called FGM and there is no formal equivalent term for the male. If you bothered to look at the page you cited, reading beyond the big black letter at the top-- you will see the term FGM used. Technically, the equivalent of clitoridectomy, the second type of FGM, not even the most severe, is penisdectomy. Not a lot of tribes and religions seem to be practicing this. Gee. Call them whatever you want. I don't see any point to your silliness, and my guess is that you have none..
