I also found some entries in SPACEALC that suggest a few alternative meanings (see References). |

| Reading 1 | かつれい |
| Part-of-speech | n,vs |
| English 1 | male circumcision |
| English 2 | male genital cutting |
| English 3 | male genital mutilation |
| Comment | It is a bias for female circumcision 「女性割礼」to also have the definitions "female cutting/female genital mutilation" but not have the same defenition for male circumcision. (It is a bias that 割礼 can only mean male circumcision in and of itself, but that is a completely different matter.) "genital cutting" should either be applied to the circumcision of both sexes, or none at all. Thank you. |

| Editorial Comment | I disagree. There is a world of difference between cutting off a foreskin, i.e. circumcision, and female genital cutting, which involves removal of the clitoris, labia minora, etc. I don't like the term "female circumcision". While I am not a fan of male circumcision, I think it is stretching it to call it mutilation. |
