Interesting standards

This whole female circumcision thing is a fascinating example of double standards.

I am not advocating female circumcision by any means, just observing the double standard.

Our society still engages in male genital mutilation with only a small amount of criticism.

We have no problem with abortion.

We actively encourage female mammary mutilation, face lifts and stomach tucking, in the interests of 'beauty' but we become moralistic and self righteous when it comes to female circumcision.

Am I the only one who thinks there is a degree of hypocrisy happening?
