User talk:Garycompugeek/Circumcision reconstruction

This page is dedicated to creating a new article structure for Circumcision. I envision, just like many of you have, a genderless Circumcision top article with more details going into each genders stub respectivly. Before we begin I would like to have discussion. I invite you to list your thoughts and concerns and any ideas you think will be helpful to this project. Garycompugeek (talk) 19:53, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Top level - Circumcision
Circumcision is the act of cutting off a males foreskin from the penis or a females labia from the vagina. The word "circumcision" comes from Latin circum (meaning "around") and cædere (meaning "to cut"). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), global estimates suggest that 30% of males are circumcised, of whom 68% are Muslim. Amnesty International estimates that over 130 million women worldwide have been affected by some form of female circumcision, with over 2 million procedures being performed every year. The prevalence of circumcision varies mostly with religious affiliation, and sometimes culture. Most circumcisions are performed during adolescence for cultural or religious reasons.
