If baby circumcisions are OK for women because "Clean motives" ,why they don't do same?

Question

to remain intact 'more trouble'??
in clean/sanitary/hygiene aspect

don't mean to compare(?)but I wonder why there is no following to "their logic" in "mea corpus",without implying another african imported "sacrifitial and purifying" custom

Pinche_you mean to say that the argument that '...they still can have orgasms' make it irrelevant to lose folds for the sake of hygiene??
as is usually said and believed does no harm only for males.

Answer 1

Don't believe in male circumcision.
Most women don't.
Please listen and learn.

Answer 2

While I agree most of the time female circumcision is worse than male circumcision it is not always. WHO has classified FGM in to 4 types. Type 1 being exactly the same as male circumcision where the female prepuce (clitoral hood) is removed, as male circumcision the male prepuce is removed (foreskin). Type 4 is the worst where everything is removed and sewn shut. Around 650 million men and 100-140 million women are circumcised world wide.

I don't believe circumcision has any preventative properties when it comes to AIDS, this was backed up a week or two ago by the CDC:

AIDS *1:
WASHINGTON, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Circumcision may reduce a man's risk of infection with the AIDS virus by up to 60 percent if he is an African, but it does not appear to help American men of color, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.

Black and Latino men were just as likely to become infected with the AIDS virus whether they were circumcised or not, Greg Millett of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.

Now if there was any protection from AIDS, researchers claim but can not prove that Langerhans cells are responsible. Langerhans cells are present in the Male Prepuce (Foreskin) and the Female Prepuce (Hood) and Labia. So if we are circumcising for AIDS prevention on males, women should have their prepuce and labia removed for the same reasons. Kinda funny, we are promoting male circumcision in the same parts of th world we are trying end female circumcision, when if there are benefits to male circumcision, there would be benefits from female circumcision.

For those who say it reduces female sexual pleasure.
--- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_cutting ---
This practice is reported to cause a reduction in women's sexual pleasure[citation needed], as well as major medical complications. However, a five-year study of 300 women and 100 men in Sudan found indications that "sexual desire, pleasure, and orgasm are experienced by the majority of women who have been subjected to this extreme sexual mutilation, in spite of their being culturally [bound] to hide these experiences."[13]
---- END -----

Circumcised men don't think they have any reduction in sexual pleasure either. Female circumcision is similar to what happens in the US with male circumcision. It is usually carried out by a victim of it. Mothers can not bare the though of their daughter not being circumcised, they believe it is healthier, more hygienic, and more aesthetically pleasing. More so, mothers worry that they will be looked down on and possibly rejected by a husband if their daughter is not done.

Answer 3

Many claim that because sexual pleasure is not effected or because the infant will never remember it, that it is okay. Frankly I find that to be crap. You are STILL mutilating sex organs, it is still wrong.

EDIT- be, the main benefit of circumcision is the reduction of the risk if HIV. Frankly if you are a responsible person, use protection and choose your partners wisely this is not an issue. Just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean its ethical.

Answer 4

Male circumcision was usually for religious motives. Some say now its "cleaner", but I'm not sure how much I believe this. Men have been uncircumcised for thousands of years with no real problems. Why mess with nature?

As for women circumcision, I have to agree with some of the others posts that you must not know what female circumcision is. The purpose is to ensure that the woman gets no physical pleasure out of sex (thus eliminating her "desire" to cheat on her husband). In cultures that still practice this, infection and death can be a result. Some female circumcisions include removing the clitoris completely, others just putting a knife up the vagina and cutting randomly. It has nothing to do with hygiene and is horrifically painful and dangerous.

I personally don't understand why anyone would want to have sex with a woman who is incapable of enjoying it as much as her partner. Isn't that half the fun? Give pleasure, take pleasure?

Answer 5

I've never liked that argument. For me, it's like pulling teeth to help prevent tooth decay and to keep the mouth clean.

Answer 6

The baby boy's body, therefore his choice.
BTW: Humans in America have showers on their homes... Boys can always pull the foreskin down, soap the damn thing, wash it carefully, and release it. If I were a human boy, and had been circumcised, I would kill my parents.

Answer 7

Do you know what female circumcisions are? That's totally cutting off the clitoris and sewing up the vagina until the day she's married. Then the husband cut open the vagina, lets it heal, then has sex with the wife. Even if they're both circumcised the only having fun in this deal is the dude. Anyway, when I have kids they're not getting circumcised cause I have no interest in getting them circumcised. I don't' see the point.

Answer 8

female and male circumsision is completely different. Male, does not affect their sexual desire where as female circumsion cuts off the clitoris, this is the equivelant of teh male penis head being cut off so the woman will never experience sexual pleasure. Surely you can't compare the two know that you have learned the biological difference :-)

Answer 9

I would NEVER allow my baby to be circumcised. It's not natural.

By the way, female and male circumcision is not equivalent. In order for male and female circumcision to be equivalent the glans of the penis would have to be removed (the glans is the entire tip in case you don't know).

Answer 10

The World Health Organisation suggests male circumcision has health benefits. By contrast, the genital multilation of girls is illegal in every country on earth; many girls die from blood loss and infection, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.

Get an education; you think you're being 'smart' but instead you are showing off your ignorance.
