        Woman & female children are being brutalized World-wide, under the guise of religious beliefs & freedom. It's Not, it's only Male Dominance.

        Of course it's not just women, but it's predominately woman. Statements like yours belittles woman's struggles, by re-focusing it on men.

        how is it focusing it on men? in the US its by far mostly men who undergo genital mutilation (~75%); isn't that a bit of a higher priority?

        Circumcision, although it removes some nerves ( I oppose), it doesn't completely remove the ability to experience an orgasm. Typical male.

        Male mutilation- legal and common, female mutilation illegal and rare. Lets focus on the maximum penalty on the latter tho it is more just.

        Why not focus on what's much, much more common?

        I thought my sarcasm was clear. We should focus on male mutilation, it should be illegal and rare! The double standard is mind blowing.

        Female genital mutilation has no health or religious basis. Free the clit!

        I agree 100%, and although I don't agree with the practise of circumcising infant males (USA), I can't agree that it's as barbaric as FGM.

        Sorry Dr Ola, one of your responses is being used falsely, as you agreeing, that USA practice of circumcision is more important than FGM.

        I can never support such barbarity(FGM ),not after seeing a sewn up vagina,brought for reopening years later,a day to her arranged marriage.

        Also, I'm positive you know, people need to know there are woman & young girls dying while giving birth because of FGM.
