On the second level.. why only women? If you're going to outlaw genital piercing, then do it for everybody. Why are women targeted? Aren't their cultural rituals that involve men's genitals too? (I'm fairly certain I've read of them).

I think it has to do with the actual place of piercing since women's genital piercing is much closer to FGM than guys' piercings are to circumsicion. In any case, I've heard some people call (male)circumsicion "cruel" as well.
