The list seems reasonable, but I'm puzzled about this one. Excision is the removal of the clitoris, and thus suppresses a woman's capacity to have orgasm. So it is indeed mutilation with drastic consequences. On the other hand, male circumcision is the removal of foreskin, which to my knowledge serves no particular purpose. In fact men with poor hygiene are more prone to infections with one than without. (I repeat: men with poor hygiene so don't get excited). So, I'm not complaining, my wife ain't complaining. My colleague at work says she prefers the looks of circumcised penises, that the handling is different but otherwise no difference. I believe most men born in the U.S. are circumcised at birth, and not for religious reasons. Any complaints from anyone? Colin: are you ciscumcised? If yes what's your complaint? If not, what's the basis of your condemning? Laurent
