During our in class interview we discussed the topic of circumcision. The question at hand was whether or not we believe female and male circumcision is a violation of human rights? I interviewed a white female who is a sociology major. My interviewee stated that she thinks female circumcision is a violation of human rights. She believes it is a form of abuse. She believes this because in circumcising a female, you are only taking away her chance of pleasure, there is no medical reason to do so. For males however, she believes that this is used for a medical use that pertains to hygiene. My interviewee also stated that she has seen documentaries on female mutilation in the form of circumcision and it was very brutal. This is often done to teenage females in their prime of puberty. When it comes to male circumcision, most of the time it is done either immediately at birth or short after. The females have to go through more pain and suffering which makes it a form of abuse.
