Actually, it's not...I served in the Military you know. By the way, I've read the Qur'ran and listened to translations for the Hadith...try someone else for what the mutilation is used for.
-
I wonder what being in the military has to do with anything. And if mutilating the genitals of their girls was about controlling their girls as slaves to their future husbands, why do they mutilate the genitals of their boys in much higher rates?
-
Medically because in some cases the foreskin can grow too tight and cause pain, it prevents phimosis, uncircumcised are twice as likely to contract HPV, recent studies have proven circumcision helps reduce risk of HIV, cleanliness can be an issue...what doctors say anyway.

Phimosis is a condition that can be treated nonsurgically in 80% of cases, foreskin becomes retractile naturally as a boy ages, the average age being 10 years old. Forcing retraction before this causes damage and causes traumatic phimosis since the scarred tissue will no longer>>

Again, I rely on doctors for my medical opinions...that is what they say. Medical doctors also say one increases stimulation while one dramatically reduces stimulation. The Qur'an and Hadith both say it is to keep women from straying religiously. I'm not the medical expert.

Except they don't say it increases stimulation in men: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2006.06685.x …

Debatable, the jury is still out on that. Several conflicting studies.

And I know this is not the same standard, but I can give anecdotal evidence here. I am a homosexual Canadian male, born 32 years ago and circumcised in a hospital. Of my 6 most recent sexual partners, half have been circumcised and half have been intact. >>

3> you will accuse me of being misogynist, which of course is not true, I'm for the ending of mutilating genitals on ALL children, boy or girl. One final thought, are you saying you would be okay with FGM type 1A or FGM type 4, neither of those do any damage to the clitoris >>
-
4> at least some forms of 4 don't, they're still just as illegal. Or would you be okay if they started doing neonatal labiaplasty, cutting off the labia of infant girls? Would that be any less genital mutilation to you?
