I find it really interesting that out of all of the body mods listed here, only the female circumcision one has any judgement attached to it. I did a lot of research on the subject while studying sexual anthropology, and the issue is far from one sided, particularly in modern settings where the ritual is observed by the choice of the woman being circumcised. There are also instances of labial removal, removal of the hood surrounding the clitoris (which many women report enhances sexual pleasure for them), as well as ritual breaking of the hymen, etc. Over all (again, in situations where the woman is intentionally making the choice to be circumcised) many women report that the removal of the outer portion of their clitoris has little to no impact on their libido or enjoyment of sex. I actually was enjoying the fact that the article had little to no Western-typical judgement attached to it...and was disappointed to read that one section.
