lol this is a book from fifty years ago with one paragraph recommending female circumcision if the tissue is inflamed constantly, yeah I admit thats going a bit far, but its hardly a serious modern day Christian issue as was pointed out.

Female circumsision was deemed acceptable - and even necessary - by a christian. This book was given to adolesent girls, when their independent beliefs about the world are being shaped. Theres a good chance that women today believe what this book says.
It wasn't about inflamation. It was about an itch which encouraged masturbation. They circumsised girls to stop them masturbating.
When it happened is irrevelent.
As tyc pointed out, your bible is 2000 years old.
