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.

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.

Is it that people wish to “desexualize women?” Or do they wish to sexualize men? Is it that you feel comparing the two “minimizes” #FGM, or is it you don’t want to bring #circumcision to the same level of criticism and scrutiny? #i2
