FGM article in today's observer

[azazello]

here. I'm absolutely horrified by some of the comments, particularly the calls for circumcision of both sexes to be banned.

Now I wouldn't consider getting my DS circumcised and would be quite happy for it to be banned in the UK buyt unless we're talking about half the penis being chopped off, it is not the same thing as FGM.

Am I just late in realising that this is a classic example of men taking what is a really important feminist issue and trying to derail it?

not sure if it is officially - but it keeps coming up on twitter, mixed in with the rape defendant stuff. Was brought up in HoC earlier by more than one MP - and Maria Eagle has been asking about domestic violence quite a bit

here, here and here

Will need to look at Hansard later for todays questions.

I'm not on twitter so that might explain it!
