There is a subtle effort by the western governments to defeat Islam in muslim countries by undermining their traditional morals and values.
So the ban by the Turkish Airlines is a push back against corrupt western ideas infecting their country. ..
The muslim "traditions" are as ill-defined as christian traditions.
How many people here knew that one of Mohammed's wives was a physician and another was a teacher?
What the world at large needs to do is to progress. Equal rights and equal opportunities must be given to all. Everyone should be given a good education. All housing and job sites should be safe. Everyone should be given fair wages for a day's labor. Those that cheat the system should be punished, not subsidized.
If America and other western countries can crawl out of the backwards hole we've been dragged into, if we can move into the 21st Century and look beyond, then we will have set the bar for the rest of the world, and be qualified to enforce human rights laws as necessary.
Female circumcision is a cultural practice and ritual performed in several countries by 10's of millions of people for eons.
It is none of our business to meddle in something that doesn't need concern us. ..
And as far as I know, female circumcision isn't practiced in Turkey.
Although, personally I have no problem with the surgery. ..
Female circumcision is still practiced mainly in Africa by muslims, pagans, and even christian tribes. ..

Female flight attendants at Turkey’s national airline have been banned from wearing red lipstick and nail polish, prompting renewed fears from secular Turks the country is becoming more Islamic. But critics say it reflects the creeping influence of the government's Islamic values. ‘This new guideline is totally down to Turkish Airlines management's desire to shape the company to fit its own political and ideological stance,’ Atilay Aycin, the president of Turkish Airlines' worker's union, said.
‘No one can deny that Turkey has become a more conservative, religious country.’ Turkey is 99 per cent Muslim, but the NATO state and European Union candidate has a secular constitution. 'They are objecting to the lipstick and nail polish that we have been using for years,' said Asli Gokmen, 30, a former Turkish Airlines' flight attendant who lost her job with more than 300 others last year during a union protest.

That practice is in no way like male 'circumcision.' They remove the entire clitoris thinking it will keep the woman calm and by keeping her from experiencing sexual pleasure she will not screw around. I think the procedure itself is abominable. I can't imagine the pain that goes with it. But, the joke is on the ones who mistakenly believe the woman will not experience sexual pleasure without her clitoris. Unlike the male who has all of the nerve endings that deliver sexual pleasure in the penis. The nerve endings that deliver sexual pleasure in women are diffuse throughout the vaginal and mons pubis. A man who loses his penis will never have an orgasm again. But the woman without a clitoris will experience orgasm. Therefore, removing the clitoris does not curtail sexual pleasure except for the length of time the woman must endure the pain. That is the natural superiority of women!

The Mons Pubis, huh.
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
Yes, if it doesn't tear you up too much, think about the complete anatomy of that region.

I've identified the Mons Pubis
It doesn't really seem to be in the hot zone.
It's not mutilation....just a female beauty enhancement for the woman's own good. ..
