Friendly reminder that any thot who would reject you because your penis *wasn’t* mutilated isn’t worth your time. Don’t mutilate your children’s penis for thots. Thanks.pic.twitter.com/mPr2P34BaU

Should they have the option as an adult?
I was interested if this applied to FGM.
My stance is that an adult can do whatever they want to their bodies if they are above the age of consent and is of sound mind. If a person is serious about cutting off their left leg for no reason other than that they want it, I won’t stop them. Likewise with this.
Fair enough.
Some places it's not even done by doctors just.. . Midwives type thing. And not even infant girls like much older. That's one custom they need to retire asap
Thing is, that's exactly how things are done to boys too. People who campaign against one not the other like to imagine the dirty hut in Africa for FGM and the hospital operating room in the USA for boys. In Singapore girls are done in sterile clinics, in Africa boys done in huts
Yeah its done in sterile settings at times. But still just do wrong. The custom in our country is do ingrained and accepted as normal but its really based on outdated concerns about cleanliness and masturbation.
It's not right no, but it's also not incomparably different like most people in this culture want to act like it is. The reasons for both are often the same, the victims often defend what was done to them, and the amount of harm is pretty comparable in average cases.
People here are just culturally indoctrinated and blind, all the arguments against FGM work for circumcison, all the arguments for circumcision could probably be applied to FGM, neither one is a reason to force it on someone.
Parent shouldn't be able to consent to things like genital mutilation for their children and doctors shouldn't offer it.
Before you criminalize all Jews, maybe see if you can ban the chemical castration that's legally being done to 9-year-olds (puberty blockers). It won't do any good to stop circumcision, if their parents decide to sterilize them & remove their testicles like Jazz Jennings.
Yea if your sky daddy says to mutilate children maybe he should be outlawed
There have been places that outlawed Jews.
If not wanting children mutilated makes me a nazi then I'm perfectly happy being a nazi.
Exactly! We were talking about female genital mutilation in my sociology class and no one gave a shit about the guys.
Probably because way in the past there was a legitimate hygienic reason for male circumcision wereas female circumcision is strictly about control. In the modern day though there really is no reason for either
Not really, that "strictly about control" has been debunked over and over again by anthropologists, but it gets ignored because it doesn't fit the narrative and weakens the anti-FGM case. Just like with circumcision the majority of women in those cultures think they're fine.
And as for the legitimate hygienic reason, they thought masturbation actually caused disease, their legitimate hygienic reason was to damage a boy sexually so he wouldn't jack off. It's all over the medical articles of the 1800s. (some examples)pic.twitter.com/UDO2SJ9q2U
If you're talking ancient days, then it definitely didn't have a legitimate benefit, cutting off even a damaged or diseased part then was dangerous, let a lone a healthy one, the wound would often get infected, or mistakes made with poor tools.
I was referring to ancient days, specifically the desert regions. It was my impression that it was done to help prevent infections from lack of bathing due to the scarcity of water. I really can't remember where I heard that.
