Me and OH were talking last night. He was saying that there's a 'big thing' made about FGM, YET hardly anything about MGM eg surely when baby boys are curcumsized, nothing much ( if anything ) is said. Thoughts?

Great post, thank you. Smile

And yeah, many women DO care about boys being circumcised, and any ensuing infections, but what gets to some women is when the very seriously bad ritual of FGM is mentioned, someone comes on and says what about the boys willies though?' And it's irksome because (as you said) FGM is far worse, and also the subject isn't about male circumcision.

On another note, whilst I personally prefer a circumcised penis on a man, (just a personal choice!) I think it's bonkers to say if you prefer a circumcised penis, you would chop off your son's foreskin. Madness!
