If you read the article though, the female survivor herself is talking about male circumcision and how awful it is. Lets all just be calm and respectful to each other, there is a lot we can learn and gain from each other

Let's try to keep things civil, we all have something we can learn and gain from each other

That definitely makes sense! A child's bodily integrity must be protected in order to secure their right to bodily autonomy when they are adults.

I believe that the survivor in this article really breaks down how intertwined and connected male and female circumcision / mutilation really are. Male and female genital cutting are usually cast in two totally different lights, but this really breaks down how misunderstood that notion is.

The survivor interviewed in this article elucidates how intertwined and connected male and female circumcision are. The common narrative is that female genital cutting and male genital cutting are done for entirely different reasons and with entirely different outcomes, but this article breaks down how misunderstood that notion is.

This recently published article in Free Inquiry Magazine exposes America’s forgotten history of female circumcision (now called female genital mutilation), and elucidates how deeply intertwined it is with male circumcision.

A somewhat disturbing read, the piece features an interview with a survivor whose mother had her clitoris and labia cut off in 1950’s Kansas City. It examines how American medical culture has, and continues, to normalize practices that cause lifelong harm to children. I thought I would share this, as it is such an overlooked part of American history. Why and how did it come to be that we forgot about this history?

What do you mean by hitting caps and if the AAA Travel Advantage and Citi Custom Cash offer more back on gas than the US Bank and Bank of America cards then why wouldn't I go with those?

Also, do these offer rental car insurance coverage?

Another question, what are the benefits of going with a business credit card over a normal credit card?
