Female Genital Mutilation is much different, often taking place in extremly poor conditions and at an older age than when circumcision is usually performed (the kind of age where you can remember that sort of thing like a traumatic experience), and is more immediately, distinctly damaging to the health of the women period and to her sex drive in particular, and is more unequivocally bad than circumcision. We're talking about stitching the labia shut and snipping the clit clean off (and to speak of how that's damaging to sex drive, the female clitoris has more nerve endings in it than the penis does altogether), leaving just enough space for the girl to pee until she's married off at least, then the process is somehow reversed as far as the labial stitching goes...

I don't know. I'm circumcised, and it doesn't seem to have bothered me. I'd call this going too far

Kasz is right, the only country that performs circumcisions for health reasons is America.

There really is no reason other than cosmetic preference.

Your attitude espouses mutilating babies for the sake of looks that is only the dominant view in ...drum roll please... ONE country.

Well, all I know is that I, and several of my friends, were all circumsized at a young age for medical reasons... and we're not from the USA.

Jews Americans the same thing!
