Much more painful, more chances for infection and emotional upset.

Then the cutting of all children (male, female, intersex) must be ended.

We've had genital mutilation in the country for a very long time. It's only very recently begun on females.

Just once I would like to see a comments thread on an article about FGM that doesn't try to make the issue about boys.

I can understand the complaint of "can't we talk about FGM without making it about men's issues?". Yes. But this was worded broadly enough to include discussion of circumcision IMO. A penis is a genital. Removing the foreskin is a mutilation. Baby boys have no choice in this.

This subject horrifies me. I first became aware decades ago when reading an Alice Waters book. Circumcision should be ended also.

The only difference is the type of genitalia being altered.

Imagine having the gall to label yourself a humanitarian activist in your Twitter bio and then, when confronted with an obvious human rights issue, you fallaciously imply that it's a non-issue because it's not as bad as something else. What a hypocrite.

Looks the same to me.
