Males and females are circumcised in some African countries but if it were to be in Euro-America it would have been propagated as GENDER EQUALITY! Males' circumcisions in Africa are never referred to as Male Genital Mutilation probably because the Jews and Arabs also circumcise their males. However, both males and females in Euro-America nowadays are engaged in what is called PIERCING OF THE GENITALS (VAGINA AND PENIS)."
Please, Salimonu Kadiri, what do you mean when you say "derogatively Called, FEMALE GENITATAL(sic) MUTILATION"? Are you by anyway implying that FGM, as a practice in Africa, is justified? I hope you are not trying to justify FGM on any grounds, including those you appear to state above.
Please, explain yourself.
