Our thanks to Ian for this. It’s associated with a wider UN-driven campaign to ‘persuade’ 20 million men living in Sub-Saharan Africa to ‘voluntarily’ have their genitals mutilated in a probably futile bid to slow the progress of HIV. The evidence base on which this is being done has been widely discredited – William Collins’s piece on MGM covers the issue, see the section titled, ‘The WHO and HIV’ – but hey, it’s only men’s genitals which are being mutilated without any good reason, not women’s, so where’s the problem?
Let’s do a gender switch. Even if there were cast iron proof that FGM slowed the progress of HIV, would the UN be seeking to mutilate the genitals of 20 million African women? Would the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation be donating $50 million to fund the ‘voluntarily’ mutilation of the genitals of 20 million women living in Swaziland and Zambia? Of course not.
it would be interesting to know whether Bill Gates and his wife have both had their genitals voluntarily mutilated,so as to lead by example.

I know he is no longer running Microsoft but Windows 10 should be boycotted until they distance themselves from this disgraceful action by Bill Gates and his wife. Any one with twitter please start #mengelegates Experimenting on men.

Hillary Clinton too, has pledged US taxpayers’ money to this African mass mutilation.

it’s amazing that western women lobby so hard to stop female genital mitilation and at the same time lobby hard to finance male genital mutilations…some hypocricy,I would think….
It does not seem our women and feminists have men’s best interests at heart and our gentlemen need to pay attantion to what’s happening,before they extend their lavish treatment on our dishonist,feminized and basically anti-men women.
