I think women would feel a whole lot different about circumcision but that's an entirely different topic for another day : ) *mounts soapbox*
I think it's odd that 'female genital mutilation' is viewed with abject and utter horror by anyone who considers themselves somewhat civilised but on the other hand, few people have qualms about cutting off a perfectly good piece of protective skin that is fine where it is, thank you.
I think it's the whole topos of male v female violence as opposed to male v male violence. But to finish off, if you have male children, think twice before subjecting them to this barbaric ritual. There is absolutely no valid scientific evidence that it helps anything, and a good deal that says it hurts.
I guess it's not really something most people ever think about.
