I agree that gender equality is paramount, including for the genital mutilation/cutting/modification of children's genital. While Canada has anti-FGM legislation to protect girls (good for them!) it still turns a blind eye to protecting boys from genital harm. About one in five Canadian boys experience a painful, traumatic mutilation of their genitals. Where is their protection? It seems cultural sensitivities and religious political correctness are overriding their gender equality.
