The most important aspect of the male circumcision debate we wish to highlight is the way in which women are rendered invisible in the entire debate. Not even the opponents of male circumcision raise the issue of women becoming infected too. Instead, women are totally marginalized rendering them to nothing other than sources of infection and objects of male heterosexuality.

In many ways the medical argument for male circumcision resembles medical texts on female contraceptives that are implanted under the skin or in the womb, so that they work independently of the patient. |
