I know you are trying to say that circumcision is inhuman, echoing what I was emphasizing in the first place, but know this; when I stated about female circumcision in some parts of Africa, it was not done because it was "supposed" (or de-facto) to be healthy. It was primarily done to females so that they will not have sexual urge, damaging or destroying their sensitive part in their genital region; implying that it was something crueler and negatively disproportionate than male circumcision. On another note, to eliminate discrimination against one gender, we need not be equally discriminative to another. Thus, double standard rule does not apply here. Anyways, this thread is too interestingly obnoxios ;) to talk about the cruelty I was refering to. I should just be amused and make the lady's intention a success, which was the whole point IMO. :) Jai hoss IndisGuise:)
