Is there a reason why the general article for this is very unexplicit? I can understand squeamishness around terminology, but I think it is very important to make what is involved in FGM sufficiently clear for readers unfamiliar with the practice to understand the ocean of difference between FGM and male circumcision. In the very least, the article needs some hint of why the process is barbaric. If no one objects within the next twenty four hours, I'll try to edit it in to a form that does so better.

See duplicate article Female Genital Mutilation, which is still a stub but slightly better treatment, or at least was, until some of our more squeamish editors bowdlerised it. Sideways 19:40, 14 November 2008 (EST)
