[[Jonathan Meddings|Meddings]] (2017) stated that | |||
{{Citation | |||
|Text=Prominent [[human rights]] advocates [[Ayaan Hirsi Ali]] and [[Soraya Mire]] (both survivors of [[FGM|female genital mutilation]]) have acknowledged that male [[circumcision]] is worse than some forms | |||
of female genital mutilation. Indeed, in its removal of the [[foreskin]], which is the most sensitive part of the [[penis]], male circumcision also removes 30–50 per cent of the [[penile skin]]. | |||
