I've read about organizations making good progress against FGM because it's women from those cultures that do the work. These organizations definately deserve our finacial support. Amnesty is a great organization that I've supported a long time, too, but I agree that they should leave this issue to other organizations more based in those cultures.
I don't think that male circumcision is as much of a tragedy (except when it gets severely botched) because the man is still able to feel sexual pleasure and orgasm. That being said, I don't understand why it is still considered acceptable to remove a baby's foreskin. We actually have the power to change the cultural attitudes about this one, so I think that we should work on it. It's too bad the only people mentioning this issue were big douchbags about it, as if feminists are all foreskin-removing hypocrites.
