   I'm sorry I'm not a doctor, but I'm quite certain you aren't either. I suspect, but really do not know, that female genital mutilation is not entirely reversible and not as easily reversed as circumcision is. Do you deny that? What then is your point about "similarities"? Or since you are no doctor, never mind.

   You can whine till you turn blue, it will do you no good. I'm not going to tell you that you are doing well when you obviously are not. I'm kind that way. I'm not changing. You have no business representing anyone else but yourself. You do not speak for atheists, not all of them anyway. You do not speak for scientists, especially not doctors. You do not speak for theologians. If I catch you pretending that you do I will point it out. Just get over it, or don't. You stop.

I don't deny that MGM can be more readily reversible, but then I have been saying all along that the two types are broadly comparable. The fact still remains that both FGM and MGM are most regularly justified for religious and cultural reasons, as I have shown (also sometimes for secondary 'health' reasons it must be said) and represent mutilation which is non-consensual. Just because something can be more readily fixed does really not make it more acceptable, and I have never heard this weak argument before.

   "Broadly comparable" In other words no relevant comparison.

   "Justified for religious and cultural reasons" By your definition of "religious," which happens to be silly.

   "Non consensual" Happens to kids an awful lot, in harmful ways not so much. Perhaps it is the harm that needs to be addressed, not whose children should rule the world.

   I'm sorry if I seem overly "righteous," but seriously you need to get over yourself. Who do you think you are? Demanding parents obey you? If you're such a fount of wisdom and knowledge why don't you explain to parents why you believe they should do things your way? If you really are so smart then maybe they'll be persuaded. I don't need to be persuaded. I'm way ahead of you. I suspect your effect on parents will be to make them all the more determined to do things their way.
