I had lunch today with a rather interesting fellow… He runs an organization called “Students for Genital Integrity” at SFSU. Since i already knew a lot about Intersex Genital Mutilation and Female Genital Mutilation, we spent a lot of the time talking about the other area that they cover that i know very little about: the problems with circumsizing men (and the controversies around this topic). It was fascinating – he gave me an interesting history of the issue, it’s place in medical, social and religious texts and otherwise engaged me to think about something i hadn’t ever considered. SFIndyMedia.org has a nice little article on the topic.
