This week's interview topic was about male and female circumcision. The interviewee was asked if she thought that male and/or female circumcision are forms of genital mutilation. The interviewee responded that she thought that genital mutilation is indeed horrible and stated what she knew about female circumcision. She said she was surprised to learn from the readings that female circumcisions are often performed by women, not so much men, as she had thought. She also stated that she feels that male circumcisions are part of a cultural norm. She told a story of her friend who has joined a group that is against male circumcisions and tries to educate the public about why male circumcision is bad. She then recounted the story in the textbook of the woman who told her experience of female circumcision and shared how horrible she thought the experience sounded.
