It's the technical term human rights organisations and the like use, so that's why I suggested it - hoping the search would turn up more sites from serious organisations then. Also, using female circumcision as a search term, I got some sites promoting "hoodectomy" as an "elective" surgery meant to stimulate rather than deaden feeling.
Offensive or not offensive are irrelevant as far as I'm concerned. It's a sickening practise no matter what label you put on it or how much you are (in)offended by the label.
