Change “the Great Wall of vagina” (as in the piece made by Jamie McCartney) to “the Great Wall of vulva”. Or at least put in a note about the name change. Thanks <3

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Jamedeus (talk) 22:22, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate[edit]

Re: 'The most prevalent form of non-consensual genital alteration is that of female genital mutilation.'

No. It is not. Non-consensual male genital alteration is very much more prevalent. This almost certainly deliberately misleading statement ought to be explicitly qualified with reference to the female sex.

And the opinion female neonate genital alteration can be thought cosmetic, aesthetic, or therapeutic, as male genital alteration habitually is [albeit and notwithstanding it is so stated invariably without any rigorous scientific justification, and erroneously in relation to both sexes], and need not necessarily be considered a form of mutilation, should be acknowledged.

That would address the implicit sexism vis-a-vis 'genital alteration' in this article as it presently stands. The mere prevalence of this expression of sexism does not in any way negate the necessity of it's correction. 49.186.44.135 (talk) 18:47, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
