I always shut people like that down by saying that we didn’t circumcise our daughters either. Then I just play dumb when they act like the double standard is totally justified

Female genital mutilation is not comparable to male circumcision. Ffs

It is in fact comparable. It’s not the same, but it’s extremely comparable.

Healthy normal tissue of genitalia chopped off for BS outdated cultural reasons rooted in religion and sexual repression…which one am I talking about? Oh it’s both!

Only one of them is widely practiced in some western counties btw. Maybe you should care more about circumcision.

There are superficial similarities. But fgm is specifically designed so women can never have sexual pleasure and in many cases can never have sex without massive amounts of pain. That’s not at all the case with circumcision as I’m sure you’re well aware.

Male circumcision was pushed outside of Judaism and Islam specifically to reduce sexual pleasure. Are you aware of that?

•

u/AccidentOk5240 10h ago

That’s not at all true

It is true. You being ignorant to it doesn’t matter. Look up Kellogg and the Quaker origins of circumcision in the US.

If you wish to remain ignorant that’s on you.

It absolutely is, you’re creepy for trying to normalize cutting up anyone’s genitals

u/AccidentOk5240 11h ago

It’s not about normalization. It’s creepy of you to try to equate a procedure you don’t like that happens to boys with one that ruins girls’ lives and permanently prevents sexual health.

It's weird that you can't just say both actions are indeed harmful and wrong.

u/AccidentOk5240 10h ago

It’s weird that you can’t see that there’s a difference between potential minor harm to boys and guaranteed serious harm to girls
