In his detailed and comprehensive analysis, Brian D. Earp shows clearly that prevailing discourses on female genital cutting (FGC) have sought to quarantine the practice from male genital cutting (MGC), and fur-ther demonstrates that none of the various features that are supposed to fully distinguish one set of procedures from the other can logically holdwater. The fundamental problem seems to be that the voluntary and ofﬁcial bodies campaigning against FGC, and especially the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO), show unjustiﬁed discrimination and hence inconsistency with respect to gender and culture, but fail to make justiﬁed and morally relevant discriminations with respect to age and degrees of harm. On the ﬁrst point, they treat males and females unequally by giving less favorable treatment to males (females having total protection from non therapeutic genital cutting, however slight, while males have close to zero, however severe).
