It is mothers who take their daughters to have their clitoris cut off by another woman. It is done because men prefer to have a cut wife. We hold down our screaming five-year-old daughters and allow a woman to take a razor to her genitals because a man will prefer her that way.https://twitter.com/merionwest/status/1052236009239445504 …

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.
-
Speaking as someone with some personal experience of this matter, I think it's unhelpful to say the least to liken male circumcision to FGM.
-
If you say it’s unhelpful to liken the two, then I’m afraid you are not experienced enough. That, or you hope others haven’t done their research. When you zoom out of the myopic narrative male infant
#circumcision advocates push, one can clearly see there is no difference.#i2 -
"There is no difference" is obviously untrue.
-
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.

The day that FGM is eradicated, that will be the day I start campaigning for an end to circumcising boys.
-
#FGM will not be eradicated as long as the#circumcision of boys continues. They both continue and endure for the exact same reasons. Make excuses for one, those are the same excuses for the other. Both must be eradicated at the same time, or none will.#i2

How is it not? Are you circumcised? Is forcibly cutting a girl OK as long as the clitoris remains? How much is acceptable to forcibly remove in a girl? Is it really a matter as to what is cut off? Who set the rule that cutting one part is “mutilation,” the other not?

Cutting off what in a baby girl would be comparable to male infant circumcision? And would you be OK with it?

The foreskin may not be the equivalent of the clitoris but it's still the most sensitive part of a man's entire sexual anatomy: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17378847 We cut them off for the same reason we burned girls' clits off with acid in North America: to discourage masturbation.pic.twitter.com/0pMPmU8vV8
