Is female genital mutilation and male circumcision a humans' right abuse?

On September 24, 2014, my interviewee answered this question in following manner. "I think so. Yes, I would say yes for the most part." He said that he is little bit conflicted when it comes to male circumcision since the circumcision usually takes place when the male is a little baby and has no harm/outcome to the future sexual life of the baby other than a decrease in the possibilities of getting sexual diseases. My interviewee strongly believes that for the other case female genital mutilation (FGM), it is indeed a humans' right violation. FGM not only hurts the women physically but it truncates permanently her sexual life or what it could have been her future sexual life. The FGM has no actual proof to be done with a good justification. "FGM has a lot more examples of humans' right abuses where people are trying to control, degrade, and harm women. So I do call that a humans' right abuse." It is true what my interviewee says. These FGMs are a human's right abuse. Therefore to compare male circumcision with a female genital mutilation is out of the scheme. Male circumcision is not a humans' right violation but some men claim that because it is unnatural, it is an abuse. As a culture, male circumcision, is not an abuse but if done as in the book mentions that some tribes where afraid of one because they were practicing male circumcision on them when they are not part of their culture, then it is an abuse. Female genital mutilation has no true reasons to be perform on little girls, adolescents, or women and therefore it is straight out a humans' right abuse.
