Well said.

The way they go to such pains to point out it was a 'black woman' is massively telling in itself - is any specific race more deserving of sympathy, or deserving of some form of special treatment? No. Don't the numerous photos already show the visual element anyway?

Circumcision is a massive double standard anyway - there is such a huge outcry over mutilation of women, but mutilation of men is both legal and widely practiced without consent.
