I find it odd that FGM is a despicable crime but MGM is just a movie title. There needs to be some parity.
-
Bullshit. You can't even compare the effects of FGM & MGM. They are world's apart.
-
Most forms of fgm are just removal of the clitoral hood or some of the inner labia. The most common forms of fgm are actually less damaging than mgm, The types of fgm that get the most attention are removal of the entire clitoris and such, but that's actually very rare.
-
I think you still proved my point there. The effects of that are far worse than circumcision. I'm not condoning either. I just think FGM is far worse.
-
Yeah some fgm is worse, but what I'm saying is that only ~10% of fgm, the most extreme forms, are worse than the average mgm that takes place in American hospitals hundreds of times daily. There are rare and exceptionally damaging forms of mgm too, like subincision.
-
What are the percentages for the male damaging forms? Also do you have any citation for your percentages on the FGM? Genuine question for my own education.
-
From the U.N., ~10% of all fgm is the infibulation type, which is the kind that is worse than the common male circumcision. As for the exceptionally damaging male types, they're rare, plus common male circumcision is so common that it's a bit drowned out.https://www.unfpa.org/resources/female-genital-mutilation-fgm-frequently-asked-questions#types_fgm …

Here's what male subincision is like. It's done by some Australian aborigines, Amazon natives, and African tribes. It's worse than normal male circumcision but it's actually not as damaging as one would imagine. Some of them have to piss sitting down tho. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penile_subincision …

If only there were a major documentary out now on Netflix that talked about this issue.

Would like to see Brandon on the show to talk about his documentary!

Just wash your penis in the shower, like how Europeans have always done it and the rest of the world.

Just FYI...and probably TMI... My late 1st husband, an American, of 25 years was circumcised. My 2nd husband of 8+ years (and still counting) is British and is not. I prefer au naturel.

Sounds like too much about his life was cut short :(

I want to laugh at that so bad, but I’m afraid I’ll be struck by lightning if I do.
Btw, he passed away at 55 from an agressive form of Parkinson’s. So sad to watch a man in his prime deteriorate physically and mentally before succumbing to death.

Well... 1. I'm sure he'd want you to maintain your humour. 2. I meant it both seriously, and as an example of black humour. 3. You have my condolences for what they're worth. 4. Bulleted lists technically shouldn't have periods.

The fingers aren't covered with useless skin. It's more like, do I wear long hair or short hair? Hair is pretty useless except for aesthetics. And long hair is harder to maintain.
-
foreskin isn't useless. it has several functions including protection and lubrication, among other things.
-
Useless or not, how about I just don't want someone taking a scapel to my man-bits?
-
that's why they do it before you have a choice. & to make it as traumatic as possible. for your own good, of course.
-
Only it's more traumatic.The pain permanently changes the brain structure and leads to an increased risk of developing PTSD later on in live. “for your own good” — that's what a truly evil person would say.
#HisBodyHisChoice -
I was circumcised as a baby and I was later diagnosed with PTSD in my 30s.

This is the dumbest thread I’ve read in 2019 thus far. Congrats
