This never fails.  Whenever the subject of FGM comes up, the conversation immediately turns to male circumcision.  I can only hope that these respondents haven't a clue what FGM really means, otherwise they should be ashamed of themselves to compare the two.as equally disturbing.  FGM not only means that a woman will not be having pleasure during sex, but also that she will have life-long medical issues.  Especially during child birth.  Many also die during and after the procedure.  It is cruel and horrifying and is meant to control a woman's' sexuality.

I have a son.  While still in the hospital, the (female) pediatrician asked if I wanted to circumcise him, I had never even considered this and refused, she was relieved by that decision.  We are  both from European background, I don't think circumcision of the male is that common there.
