      Are anti-FGM advocates crazies? Why is one gender OK to cut but not the other? Please think before you answer.

      This has nothing with medical “benefits.” Not a single respected medical organization recommends male infant #circumcision based on any “benefits.” @AmerAcadPeds said “the benefits aren’t great enough” in 2012. I’m afraid you don’t know what you’re talking about. #i2

      I just don’t want every conversation about FGM to become a convo about circumcision because they are NOT the same

      I’m sorry, but that age ended not too long ago when the federal law against #FGM was struck down. I’m afraid there is no firewall between male and female circumcision anymore. If you don’t want the issue to be about BOTH SEXES then I’m afraid you’re in for a rude awakening. #i2

      As long as cutting female genitals is an issue, cutting male genitals is also. As long as #FGM is talked about, then #MGM will be continued to be brought up. No longer will boys and men be erased. Deal with it. #i2

      Then start your own thread. Don’t shut the conversation on FGM to talk about men’s issues

      It wasn't about FGC but about _attitudes_ towards mothers. Every Intactivist (in fact just about every western person) opposes FGC. Every culture that cuts girls also cuts boys (THEY see them as the same), and we'd look less like hypocrites to them if we were gender-neutral.

      And people have the same right to speak on circumcision. No one has said not to- just don’t overrun a thread about FGM to speak on it

      Here’s the thing- they’re different topics and one shouldn’t be shut down bc men have decided women have spoken about it enough

      “one shouldn’t be shut down bc men have decided women have spoken about it enough” Who is “shutting the conversation down?” I’ll let readers decide. It’s women who are pro-male cutting. No one wants to shut down the convo of #FGM, but people want to erase boys. ENOUGH. #i2

          Again. Haven’t seen a thread on circumcision shut down by women who decide FGM is more important to talk about

          And I’m sorry for that. But shutting down a different issue isn’t going to solve that, I mean if it happen to you you should understand most

          Nobody is shutting down talk of FGC, which is rare and illegal in the USA and universally condemned in the west. But MGC is done to 1 US boy every 26 seconds by people like @DrChaya, so it's the elephant in the room. Thanks to @circmovie for making it topical.

          It’s exactly why this thread started dude. People came to a thread on FGM and tried to minimize that to talk about circumcision

          Saying “it’s not impt. It’s talked about enough” I mean sort of the definition of shutting down a seperate convo

          It wasn't about FGC. It was a male-genital-cutting doctor (exhibiting mysandry here) talking about mysogyny.
