  As bad as male circumcision can be, female circumcision is next level terrible. A Google points Wikipedia to an entry for “Female Genital Mutilation” which seems appropriate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation

    "It is estimated that more than 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female genital mutilation in the countries where the practice is concentrated. Furthermore, there are an estimated 3 million girls at risk of undergoing female genital mutilation every year." - https://www.who.int/teams/sexual-and-reproductive-health-and-research/areas-of-work/female-genital-mutilation/prevalence-of-female-genital-mutilation https://www.who.int/teams/sexual-and-reproductive-health-and... "In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated 30% of adult males worldwide (aged 15+) are circumcised, with about two-thirds of those being Muslims" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_circumcision https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_circumcision While female genital mutilation is far more horrific, male genital mutilation is far more common. Both should be ended and the movements should be combined. I actually make this my single largest political issue and the fact that most people laugh at this idea is evidence for the shockingly bad ethical systems that most individuals have.
