FGM is against English law, but still there has been no successful prosecution! Are the authorities scared of being called “racist" if they interfere with these unspeakably barbaric “cultural practices”? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/fgm-uk-female-genital-mutilation-countries-girls-children-cutters-flight-survivor-police-a8560306.html …

How ANYONE, let alone a WOMEN, could promote & carry out this barbaric practice is utterly beyond me. How can you take the ability to orgasm away from a woman, so they don't "wander" Could it be the males in these societies are such totally useless "lovers?"

The vast majority of males in cultures that cut the genitals of females are often also subjected to genital cutting.

Mate, loosing a bit of foreskin is NOTHING like having a clitoris removed! Perhaps the males that insist on having this abhorrent practice performed on women should have the circumcision done about 4 inches closer to the body!

Your example is an oversimplification and your suggestion is repugnant. Here are the facts about all types of genital cutting: http://blog.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/2014/02/female-genital-mutilation-and-male-circumcision-time-to-confront-the-double-standard/ …

Nowhere near as repugnant as what they are doing to their women. Besides I don't remember having mine lopped off, it was a very common practice in my era.

You clearly did not read the nuanced article I shared.

Well I did, I still can't see your point. Call it FGM or FMC or whatever, it is totally unnecessary. Circumcision however has shown significant reductions in infections for both males & females. It's not a common practice now, due to improved WESTERN healthcare.

There are many more studies that show no heath benefits of circumcision, just like there are some studies that show health benefits to FGM. It doesn't make either one right, or necessary.
