How about under the clitoral hood? Why don't we cut off their prepuce and expose the clitoris for the same reason we expose the glans in males? It'd keep things in there all nice and dried out and desensitized, which y'all seem to think is a good thing for some reason.

Doesn’t prevent infection though.

How would you know that? lol. Have there been studies on it?

I mean, from what I gather the clitoral hood isn’t a part of the urinary tract.

The clit hood can get infected. Surgery isn't done for this condition.

Is what I’m saying. You can’t do surgery to reduce female UTI rates. Female circumcision has no effect. However, whilst nobody “agrees” on the number, there’s a fair few papers detailing how male circumcision reduces rates of further infection.

First of all, we don't know if removing the labia would reduce female UTI rates. But we consider it unethical to study that. That's sexism. Also, my example wasn't UTI, but clit hood infection.

Labiaplasty is usually plastic surgery. There was a case study cited here by somebody showing it being used to treat chronic UTIs. That’s why I used it as an exception, because it is a legal exception to FGM occasionally used to treat abnormalities. Like circumcision is to MGM.

Two key points here you are missing: in this case the female cutting was therapeutic. Also, it was consensual. RIC is never consensual and never therapeutic. If male circ is therapeutic and ALL OTHER OPTIONS EXHAUSTED, then I'm OK with it. I doubt it's ever truly necessary.

I agree wholeheartedly. I think the way I’m arguing my point here is making people think I’m pro to all circumcision. I’m not. If there’s anything you can do other than surgery, that should be done instead. And yes, religious circumcision should be banned.

Then honestly, we all agree, this is really our point too, circumcision when there is actual medical need should be allowed, it should be banned for religious reasons, it should be banned to make him "look like dad" but instead it isn't banned, it's done before there is a problem
