This essay responds to Winter, Thompson and Jeffreys’ critique of the UN approach to harmful traditional practices. By questioning why these authors address only a limited set of harmful practices in the West, in particular missing the problem of infant male circumcision, I argue their critique is less radical than it appears. Indeed, the article reproduces what I see as the most problematic and gendered assumptions in the UN’s approach: namely, the conceptualization of harmful practices solely in terms of women’s victimization and men’s benefit
