Here's the US government report on female genital cutting in Indonesia.

It would appear from the evidence that the type of genital cutting practiced on girls there is much less harsh than the type of genital cutting practiced on boys there and in the US. So why are we horrified at this female version, and not horrified at the loss of 12-15 square inches of highly nerve rich skin from a man's penis, without his consent?

that female bits get smegma, and research in Tanzania shows if uncut, they are more likely to get HIV....

All i'm asking is, why this gender relativism, on what is a human rights issue? Every boy and every girl has a right not to have someone interfere with their healthy sexual parts. Particularly not with a knife.
