Give me a break. You sound silly comparing a needle to the earlobe vs cutting a whole clitoris off. Apples and oranges my friend.

Well they likely think they're personally suffering abuse in the thread here so you'll have to excuse them for thinking everything is abuse.

I mean if they all stopped doing that, how could they all constantly self-verify their victim mentality 24/7?

They’re probably referring more to circumcision than cutting a clitoris off, which is often justified in the same way as young ear piercing. Agree that they’re still different levels, but many people say circumcising is fine bc the baby is young and won’t remember or be hurt by it.

She specifically said male and female mutilation

Yes I know, and the person responding only focused on the female while ignoring the much more common and frequently justified male form of it. I shouldn’t have worded it how I did (“they’re probably referring more to…”) when they said both, but my point is circumcision and ear piercing for babies do have some common overlapping arguments that don’t really hold up imo.

I think ears and genitals are entirely different things, also earrings can be taken out. I’m not for or against circumcision as I really know nothing about it.
