  1. When parents agree with circumcision of boys, you claim that is acceptable to the boys. Should that not also be against the law? After all, that is not done with the agreement of the boys when they are babies. Just because you perceive that law as being acceptable ... does not mean that it SHOULD be acceptable. It's not about left or right. It's about what IS right ... and who decides that for children? And are you aware that it was Christians who agreed with the barbaric operation of circumcision for girls? From the book … GORY DETAILS … ADVENTURES FROM THE DARK SIDE OF SCIENCE … author … ERICA ENGELHAUPT Although clitoridectomies are most common today in a broad region across Africa and the Middle East, many people don’t realize that the surgery was once more widespread, and was also employed in Victorian England. A successful surgeon named Isaak Baker Brown, credited with developing many gynecological surgeries, touted clitoridectomies as a cure for masturbation.* In his book On the Curability of Certain Forms of Insanity, Epilepsy, Catalepsy, and Hysteria in Females, published in 1866, Brown offered among his instructions that “the clitoris is freely excised by scissors or knife—I always prefer scissors.” Eventually, the Obstetrical Society of London essentially put Brown and clitoris removals on trial, ultimately expelling him from the society. But the practice lingered for decades, and spread to America. The last known clitoridectomy in the United States was performed on a five-year-old girl in the 1940s.
