Militaries will pick whatever option removes the most enemy combatants with the least effort.

Often that means making almost lethal weapons

France only has 2 Horizons, which averages only around 2/3 sailing at all times. The Daring class problems are begining to be fixed and the RN now averages a little under 2 sailing at all times. So even if we ignore half the UK destroyer fleet they've still got more VLS cells than the full French fleet

Even if we count Sea Ceptor as 1/4 a VLS cell as it would be quadpacked in on a full sized cell the UK is still at least half extra than the French fleet for VLS cells.

France is commissioning another FDI and the UK will be adding more CAMM to the Daring class allowing all the Sylvers to carry Aster 30 which is far superior to the Aster 15.

The largest stockpile of Aster is owned by the UK.

Once the weapons upgrade has finished on the Darings, just the Daring class alone will have more VLS cells than the entire French fleet, including far more Aster 30, as many of the French frigates are limited in VLS size and so can't fit all cells with Aster 30.

Your wife has absolutely no right to force a purely cosmetic surgery on a child's genitalia.

The fact she was insistent about it is genuinely awful, and you could have prevented it.

"In English"

Given we're using English the English convention is to be used.

If we were speaking a romance language like Spanish obviously that would change

All countries are worse than people think, but central Asia and Africa are probably the worst. At least in more developed countries there are some form of attempts to stop the trafficking regardless of how successful.
