I do believe it is somewhat hypocritical when people decry FGM, while supporting it's male variety which is called "circumcision". I believe unless there is an absolutely good medical reason or their own consent, males should be subjected to the removal of a perfectly healthy part of their body.
Well those people who do "genital modification" consented to it, a lot of boys who are circumcised for no valid medical reason did not consent to being circumcised.

To call circumcision genital mutilation is intellectually irresponsible, borderline disingenuous. We all know the horrible stories behind forced female genital mutilation.Mutilation has a serious connotation to it. I bet if the proponents of the anti-circumcision movement were instead to call it genital modification. Many people do this on their own like prince alberts, clit piercings, penis tatoos ,etc. This is just another form of expression. In this case it's religious expression, but I agree that it should be an informed decision.
