How about under the clitoral hood? Why don't we cut off their prepuce and expose the clitoris for the same reason we expose the glans in males? It'd keep things in there all nice and dried out and desensitized, which y'all seem to think is a good thing for some reason.

It doesn’t, I never said it did. However, it lowers rate of further infection, preventing the immune system from being damaged in the first place. However, without treatment, the immune system gets damaged- technically doing harm through inaction. On a common infection, too.

As if destroying the langerhans cells in the mucosal portion of the prepuce doesn't "damage the immune system"? I'm beyond the point where I can believe you're arguing in good faith. It's been fun being trolled but I have better things to do. Recommend you find a new hobby.

Just no banning the medical side of circumcisions and I guess we all agree. Maybe I’ll be seeing the intactivist movement later when all their arguments and views are defined. Have a good one

FYI, our views are well defined and our approach solid, in general. We have moral, ethical, and medical evidence to back up our point-of-view. If female cutting is banned, then so should male. Medical treatments are different than RIC.

And hey, male genital mutilation is banned as it falls under child protection laws. Circumcision isn’t banned for the same reason a labiaplasty isn’t banned. They *should* be used to treat abnormalities that can damage someone’s health.

All forms of female cutting are considered "mutilation". Why aren't male forms considered that way. There is a difference between medical surgeries that treat a condition (therapeutic) and cosmetic ones (non-therapeutic). Male circ is rarely therapeutic.

Labiaplasty is rarely therapeutic and is not considered FGM. Male circumcision is rarely therapeutic and is not considered MGM. What’s sexist about that? And by rarely I mean 0.006% of the planet’s population. Or 42 million people. Who would die without it.

Non-consensual female genital cutting is always considered genital mutilation. Non-consensual male genital cutting is generally not considered mutilation. That's what is sexist. Far more die from male circ than "die from not having it".
