Really? Because honestly if you look into the reasons they are all the same, not to mention the effects because most of the nerve endings in the penis are in the frenular delta, part of the foreskin.

Cleaner Prevents disease Reduces sexual drive and pleasure Required by religion More attractive to future partners Has to look like parent Don't forget many women who have been cut defend the practice. Look into the research of Sara Johnsdotter, who actually studied and talked>>

2> to these women, they told her that they enjoy sex, that they do have orgasms. It's a false dichotomy to NOT compare genital mutilation of both sexes, and it's only done because FGM is alien to your culture while circumcision is something you consider normal. I am sure >>

Actually, it's not...I served in the Military you know. By the way, I've read the Qur'ran and listened to translations for the Hadith...try someone else for what the mutilation is used for.

I wonder what being in the military has to do with anything. And if mutilating the genitals of their girls was about controlling their girls as slaves to their future husbands, why do they mutilate the genitals of their boys in much higher rates?

Medically because in some cases the foreskin can grow too tight and cause pain, it prevents phimosis, uncircumcised are twice as likely to contract HPV, recent studies have proven circumcision helps reduce risk of HIV, cleanliness can be an issue...what doctors say anyway.

Phimosis is a condition that can be treated nonsurgically in 80% of cases, foreskin becomes retractile naturally as a boy ages, the average age being 10 years old. Forcing retraction before this causes damage and causes traumatic phimosis since the scarred tissue will no longer>>

They are both mutilation. There are more nerves, flesh, and function in a foreskin than there are in the clitoris. FGM has many forms, all are bad, but MGM is bad too. Do not justify one because it's "not as bad" as another. Both are human rights violations.

Actually no. There are not more functions for a foreskin, nor nerve endings. it would be more akin to trimming the outer labia. But I can see views that it is mutilation either way. Surgically removing the Clitoris is the same as removing a penis and calling it a circumcision.

The great thing about the internet is that you can do research. There is a lot of nerves in a foreskin. It performs many functions, such as protecting the glans, the mucous membrane, reduce friction and dryness during intercourse and more. I highly recommend researching more.pic.twitter.com/l2M0BW4bU6

There are pros and cons of circumcision, but let's cut to the chase. Using this as an excuse to mutilate or remove a female sexual reproductive organ is cutting off your hand to spite your face. You want to keep your foreskin your business.https://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/guide/circumcision …
