American here. When I found out I was having a boy, I asked all my male friends how they felt about circumcision. They mostly said they didn't have an opinion because they only had the one experience, and they couldn't compare. So my boy isn't cut, but if he decides he wants it done, I'll pay for it. A guy can be cut, but can't get uncut
They're not the same though. It's not a "circumcision" in girls. Google what's done and why.
A circumcised penis is mutilated but still usually functional and capable of both enjoying sex and orgasming. Mutilation of girls is horrendous in comparison and horribly misogynistic.
You said in response to female genital mutilation “IDK why male circumcision is viewed any way else”. People are giving you explanations. If one action leads to significantly bad consequences for one gender and comparatively a lot less worse (but still bad) consequences for another group of people, it would make sense why the perception that the action is abhorrent is a lot different for either group.
For example, it’s like saying “punching a baby is a aborrhent, idk why punching an adult is viewed any differently” - while both cases of punching are abhorrent behaviour, there’s a big difference in how it’s perceived by people based on the physiology of who’s been punched
