Circumcision removes organ homologous to clitoris. Not all FGM is identical; four generally recognized types, of increasing severity. AAP 2012 circumcision study an epistemological train wreck. See recent work by Earp, et. al., for details. @briandavidearphttps://twitter.com/drchaya/status/1080578429077127169 …

I agree with you that it is not anti-Semitic. However, I agree with her that it’s a false equivalence. Comparisons to FGM make anti-circumcision proponents look bad, even if they have good intentions.

Actually, no they don’t. The problem is that people buy and sell this “can’t be compared” crock as if it were immediately self-evident. Both practices CAN and SHOULD be compared. Those who argue otherwise either HAVEN’T ACTUALLY LOOKED or hope others will not.

Comparing male infant circumcision as performed in hospitals to female circumcision as performed in the African bush is in itself a “false comparison.” Like needs to be compared with like. Are you aware that baby girls are circumcised in SouthEast Asian countries?

And have you seen a hospital infant circumcision? It’s gruesome in and of itself. When you compare male and female circ @ hospitals, I’m afraid male #circumcision is more severe. I know. I’ve looked. Those who deny this either haven’t actually seen it or take me for an idiot. #i2pic.twitter.com/1dRnTOgees
