Women "excluded" from Senegal circumcision rites

	mens_issues writes "Reuters reports about a circumcision rite in Senegal in which a mythical figure called "Kankouran" guards the boys being circumcised from the village women. This is spinned to make it seem that since women are being "excluded" from this ritual it must be "discrimination" against them. The irony is that the article also mentions that female circumcision was banned in 1999, but does question the fact that it is still done to boys. The article is here. Steve"

Circumcision is anti-male domestic violence (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 02:08 PM November 6th, 2005 EST (#2) This is another case of domestic violence against males. One reason why the domestic violence industry is determined to see women as the victims and men as the exclusive perpetrators is that the admission that men can be victims of domestic violence leads to the conclusion that involuntarily circumcised infant males have been victims of violence. And their number is huge.
