The genital cutting of boys, girls, and intersex individuals is more similar in origin and practice than realized and resulting devastating health consequences.
Ok, but you shouldn't misrepresent things that you link.
In academia these terms are frequently debated. I took an international relations course where the professor went over at great length how to phrase these. He settled on genital cutting as a universal term. Circumcision is somewhat euphemistic whereas mutilation is somewhat dysphemistic. It's actually somewhat offensive to tell a person they have been mutilated. Culturally based female genital cutting is mostly driven by either mothers or grandmothers, and many females who have been genitally cut do no identify as mutilated and wish to continue the practice with their daugthers. Similarly many American men who have been genitally cut do not identify as mutilated.
What you say here is fair. It's just that saying they promote "genital cutting" suggests that they promote all forms of it, when it's only circumcision that they're promoting. I'm not saying one is better than the other.
My post is not emotion, it is fact. Prevention is not an option for those people who are infected. Period. Simple, scientific, emotionless fact. I never claimed “that HIV is an inevitability for a lot of folks”. My point is that is HIV is a reality for 37 million humans. To them, your prevention is absolutely nothing. Whining? Naah, I just care about more than myself. Some people on here don’t mind supporting causes that affect people other than themselves. I think the whining was being done by those, such as yourself that were complaining about Apple raising money for something you believe to be a waste. I support Apple’s fundraising. You were the one complaining about the subject of this article; Apple Raising $200 million for Product Red. Complainining about a socially beneficial program by a corporation that aims to help millions of others. Whining AND selfish.
