Answer 1

Proper name is Genital Mutiliation. Male GM is less invasive, but much more common; Female GM is not as widespread, but much more invasive and hurtful.

Think 50 people having their teeth broken by an assault, and 1 person murdered.

(there are very few cases where there is an actual medical reason, but mostly Male Genital Mutiliation is done on infants – cutting healthy body parts for no valid reason)
