So We'll Just Have To Cut Them Up?
So male genital mutilation reduces the chance of HIV infection, does it? Funnily enough, that the nooks and crannies collect dirt is exactly the argument advanced by proponents of female genital mutilation. Still, anything rather than admit that the means to such reduction are in fact sexual abstinence outside marriage, fidelity within marriage, and abstinence from intravenous drug use. For do we all not know that at least the first and second of these are impossible for those simple souls who are poor, non-white, or both? Instead, we need to mutilate their genitalia. Don’t we?
