lol I know. I have no problem with male circumcision, all my sons were done. Female circumcision is usually done in barber shops and at home, not in hospitals. Girls have been hurt very badly and been scarred for life by people not knowing how to do it. Whole thing is disgusting and I really believe this child would be better off without either parent. I do not see how a mother bathing her child would not see something had been done to her or that the child wouldn't have been in terrible pain. I just don't buy she found out more then a year later. Something just is fishy here.

male circumcision does not prevent men from every enjoying sex - and there is still debate over whether or not it is the more hygienic route to go.
The reasons for female circumcision are to prevent her from ever enjoying sex. She won't be as likely to seek it out and therefore less likely to bring "shame" on her family someday.
The term "circumcision" should not be used when female genital mutilation is under discussion. It is a much more drastic procedure with enormous consequences.
I'm not a big fan of male circumcision, but to try to bring that up, as if it is somehow equivalent, is completely off-base.
