wikify clitoris
We keep the feeling of some people, that something was stolen from them, for legitimate and understandable. No one must take this assessment for themselves. How other men perceive the loss of their [[foreskin]], is their own affair completely.
Historically, the removal of the [[foreskin]] was very well accompanied for a long time with the intention to take away something from someone, namely the sexual sensitivity, which is without doubt comprehensible in the relevant literature dating back centuries. We also believe that those are clearly too easy there, if they hold [[FGM|genital mutilation of girls]] and boys '[[circumcision]]' for incomparable. It is commonly understood that [[FGM|circumcision of the female genitals]] always is done in its most serious form, the so-called 'pharaonic' circumcision. However, this undifferentiated approach does not meet the complexity of the issue. The [[WHO]] has classified [[FGM]] into four classes, where Type A also includes the mere scratching of the Prepuce of the [[clitoris ]] or removing it. ALL forms of [[FGM|circumcision of the female genitals]], including those who are demonstrably less or at least as invasive as the removal of the highly sensitive [[penis]] [[foreskin]], are rightly outlawed worldwide and also prohibited by law in many countries.
The so-called "[[circumcision]]" of boys, however, will continue as necessary and deserving part of the free exercise of religion, as cultural tradition or because medical myths all over the world tolerate and dismiss it as harmless. We defend ourselves against this scandalous inequality, even if some apparently or actually satisfied, circumcised man is incomfortable with our protests. The fact that also the [[MGM|mutilation of male genitals]] may be classified into different degrees of severity, is also like being ignored. So the operational possibilities range from the completely prepuce-sparing dorsal cut to the extremely debilitating radical [[circumcision]] [[Circumcision#Low_.26_Tight|"Low&Tight"]], in which not only the important 'grooved band' and the complete inner [[foreskin]], but also the highly sensitive frenulum be removed entirely. To trivialize all the different [[Circumcision#First.2C_a_look_on_the_common_styles:|styles and circumcision species]] of as [[circumcision]] for simplicity, we consider simply naive.
