    Why I criticize childhood genital cutting practices in the United States using the same principles used to criticize such practices in Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia - a way to avoid 'anything goes' moral relativism without being a hypocrite https://buff.ly/2m5vmqs pic.twitter.com/V85LvGxWhm

        Jewish people have the right to circumcise their children.

        I don't agree with collapsing the distinction between FGM and male circumcision.

        I assume you have not read any of my articles on the subject, then? Here are some that address the distinctions and similarities in great detail: https://www.dovepress.com/female-genital-mutilation-and-male-circumcision-toward-an-autonomy-bas-peer-reviewed-article-MB …; https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316527677_Gender_and_genital_cutting_a_new_paradigm …; https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316505694_Reason_and_paradox_in_medical_and_family_law_shaping_children%27s_bodies …;https://www.researchgate.net/publication/266971287_Female_genital_mutilation_FGM_and_male_circumcision_Should_there_be_a_separate_ethical_discourse …

        No worries - it's a subject I came to by accident some years ago, and before that it wasn't something I really thought about much. Since then, though, I've realized that a lot of my initial assumptions were not tenable

        How would you address the concerns of Jewish parents that a key tenet of their religious practice would be violated if restrictions on infant circumcisions were enshrined in law?

        There are various ways to respond to this - one way is to argue that children, including Jewish children, have a moral right not to be nontherapeutically circumcised, but that the practice need not therefore be criminalized.

        I appreciate the commitment to criticizing your own culture in the same way you would a culture not your own.
