Jeremy: Is female circumcision "cruel beyuond all measure" and why more cruel than male circumcision? They get it done as a baby usually and do not feel it and it happens very quickly. Male circumcision is unneeded in this day and is - literally - cutting of the flesh - just like mutilation or body scarring. Why do we not abhor this too? Whole cultures do female circumcision as babies.


ALL;
I guess a different thread could be opened to dicuss almost all of these issues.

One thing I am expecting is that TRs will pride themselve on the number of E's they have and BRs will pride themselve on the number of Ns.


For those that pick mostly E's do you see the N aspects of each of these items? I.e. how the practice could vary across cultures.

For those that pick mostly N, do you see what universal principal is at state that must be defended?
