      It is mothers who take their daughters to have their clitoris cut off by another woman. It is done because men prefer to have a cut wife. We hold down our screaming five-year-old daughters and allow a woman to take a razor to her genitals because a man will prefer her that way.https://twitter.com/merionwest/status/1052236009239445504 …

      In this op-ed, @ConfessionsExMu argues that feminists in the West can help women overcome true barriers, like the inability to go to school or female genital mutilation. However, fears of being labeled as "racist" or "ethnocentric" can hold them back https://merionwest.com/2018/10/16/feminists-in-the-west-need-to-see-where-real-battle-is/ …

      Can you even imagine a FATHER taking his SON for "cultural" EMASCULATION ???

      Unfortunately yes - it's known as circumcision. It's common in Judaism and Islam for religious reasons and in the USA for cultural ones.

          Cutting off a clitoris is hardly comparable to circumcision!!

          I agree that (that version of) FGM is a lot worse than circumcision, but they're both genital mutilation as far as I'm concerned.

          Removal of the clitoral hood is another form of FGM and is directly analogous to male circumcision.

          Speaking as someone with some personal experience of this matter, I think it's unhelpful to say the least to liken male circumcision to FGM.

          If you say it’s unhelpful to liken the two, then I’m afraid you are not experienced enough. That, or you hope others haven’t done their research. When you zoom out of the myopic narrative male infant #circumcision advocates push, one can clearly see there is no difference. #i2

          "There is no difference" is obviously untrue.

          The more you study genital cutting, the more you realize that every aspect of male and female circumcision is precisely same. The claims, the truths, the lies, everything. Genital cutting is a gross human rights violation in BOTH sexes. BOTH need to stop. #i2 #FGM #circumcision

          The day that FGM is eradicated, that will be the day I start campaigning for an end to circumcising boys.
