A long time ago, people referred to "circumcision" for men and women. For men, this was virtually always removing the foreskin - for women, this varied, and could be less, similar or more.

When a single word is used for something, its hard to justify stopping it for women but not men.

The term "Female Genital Mutilation" was introduced as a method of ending female circumcision but not male.

Once the term "mutilation" had been created, you could easily justify combating only "mutilation". What are you against? Mutilation, obviously? What about Circumcision? Well, that's different.

By distinguishing between male and female circumcision, it very easily allowed and facilitated focus solely on female circumcision - despite the cases where female circumcision is less invasive.

This wasn't a random development in language - it was a concerted effort to change the term for female circumcision into something more brutal-sounding, to facilitate gender-exclusive protection of women only. A conscious, sexist effort.

Hence why we should simply reverse it. Refer to male and female circumcision again.

If you want to be more edgy, you could always refer to Male Genital Mutilation.
