What conclusions can be drawn from the study of circumcision in non-Western societies?

There are a number of myths surrounding circumsion. There are ethnic as well as racial disparities in the prevalence of circumcised people. There has been a decrease in the percentage of neonates who are being circumcised, with the thought that there is being an increase in the problems with se-xual activity of the circumcised people. In reality, the benefit is that it would be protecting against various infections, if carried out in neonatal stage and also there is a reduction in the pediatrician kidney.

There are many arguments for and against circumsion, though, with the upcoming pediatrician generation there is increase in the information that is being shared also for with an increase in the positive intent, that influences the parents to go for infant circumcision.

The perception about circumcision in the non western culture is that the process of circumcision is barbaric and uncivilised. When some of the people were asked about female circumcision , it was thought of as being uncultured. Also, according to some of the feminist views, the process of circumcision would be compromising with women se-xuality and to gain a control about the same.

Though, American societies rationalised the male circumcision, it was not seen in the same manner by the African as well as Arabian women. African societies hardly understood female circumcision and termed it as being cruel or “cruelty”. The major turnabout in the American women was because of the feminists, the media as well as various other agencies. The same has not been enjoyed in Africa and Arabia. There has not been a lot of positive images put forward, but since ages, there has been a powerful negative image put forward. Some have also said that the feminists of the west have used the Arabian and the African women for their own purposes, leading to epistemological imperialism.
