Did you know that early feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem spoke out publicly against male genital mutilation?
“[M]en are asked symbolically to submit the sexual part of themselves and their sons to patriarchal authority, which seems to be the origin of male circumcision, a practice that, even as advocates admit, is medically unnecessary 90% of the time. Speaking for myself, I stand with many brothers in eliminating that practice too.”
Her full quote and citation, as well as comments by other feminist pioneers like Germain Greer and Alice Walker, are preserved on the NOHARMM page titled What have FGC opponents stated publicly about male genital cutting?
