Man möchte die "gender inequality" auflösen - durch Gleichheit im Unrecht für Mädchen wie Jungen. Solche Forderungen sind die logische Konsequenz, dass man vor dem Unrecht BGM die Augen verschließt, bzw., wie in Deutschland sogar noch zwei explizit geschlechtlich diskriminierende Gesetze verfasst.
Female circumcision
Universal prohibition or uncritical acceptance: somewhere in between?

Die Argumente pro GGM sind ähnlich wie die bekannten pro BGM: Identität!!!, lässt sich eh nicht verbieten, nicht "kriminalisieren", ein Schaden ist nicht bewiesen...
Zitat
In the 1990s, experts in medicine and medical anthropology (Obermeyer 1999; Edgerton 1989) concluded that scientific evidence of physical damage deriving from FC [female circumcision] is not sufficiently proven by existing studies
Zitat
Militant feminists (Fumbai Ahmadou, Naasu Fofanah, the Somali Ayan Omar, Maseray Sesay among the most visible) translate such claims, in human rights terms, as a right to self-determination and cultural identity to be enjoyed on equal footing with circumcision for men and genital cosmetic surgery for western(ized) women, i.e. legally performed “designer vaginas” and reductions of labial and clitoral tissue for aesthetic purposes.
Zitat
However, South Asian, African, Arabic and other local feminists argued that the international VAW movement reinforces the image of powerless non-western women (Kapur 2002; Mohanty 2003; Ahmadu 2007), which makes it difficult to distinguish between real victims of forced circumcision and consenting circumcised girls/women. Over the last few years and to date, international law has included declarations and recommendations with an ever-greater focus on culture[3]. Cultural diversity has been recognized as essential for ensuring harmonious interaction among people and groups as well as, and more importantly, the right to self-determination and respect for identity. Accordingly, a growing number of African feminists and professionals claim the right of women to undergo FC on a cultural basis as well as on equal footing with circumcision for men and genital cosmetic surgery for western(ized) women[
Zitat
One could consist of a measure that, on the one hand, protects infants and unwilling women while, on the other, allows consenting circumcised girls and adult women to legally undergo the practice on the basis of subjectivity, self-determination, the emic perspectives of their own cultures and on equal footing with genital cosmetic surgery for western(ized) women.
"Consenting girls"? Sind die wirklich frei zu entscheiden, wenn sie von ihren Eltern abhängig sind? Und "protecting infants" - schließt das auch Jungen ein? Dazu - kein Wort, natürlich. 
Zitat
For this purpose, I would like to encourage anthropologists not to forget the guidelines of the AAA Human Rights Committee. As a part of their profession, anthropologists are called upon to seek to apply their knowledge to the solution of human problems. This also implies using ethnography, anthropological critique and other methodologies as precious tools for human rights theory and practice, something that, to date, in Europe, have been implemented too hesitantly. In so doing, it may be possible to radically expand and deepen anthropology’s contribution on the subject of FC in a way that oversteps extreme positions and value the manifold metaphysics of FC in relation to multiple women’s same rank rights.
Diese Art von Argumentation ist in letzter Zeit immer öfter zu hören. Es müssen endlich alle Anti-GGM-AktivistInnen kapieren, dass ihr "aber unsers ist ganz was anderes" ins Abseits führt.
