.@Waris_Dirie was the poster child of the @UN's efforts to campaign against #FGM 20 years ago. In that time, she's gone from calling FGM circumcision to saying that FGM should never be compared to circumcision.
They should be compared: they're both genital mutilation. #i2

When someone tells you, "
#Circumcision and#FGM are incomparable", what they really mean is: "I don't believe circumcision is genital mutilation." Is male circumcision genital mutilation@Waris_Dirie? If she says it is, then she mutilated her son. She can still be a regret momShow this thread -
If she says it isn't, then she is denying it in order to deflect blame. 75% of mothers with circumcised babies have trouble breastfeeding. Read what she says about breastfeeding in the next paragraph. It's obvious that she damaged her son.

The only way to end
#FGM,#circumcision, and#intersex mutilation is to oppose them all TOGETHER. United we stand, divided we fall. If we all worked together, we would end genital mutilation in 10 years in the West, and end it worldwide within a century.#i2Show this thread

I'm surprised she didn't correlate the unnecessary and painful circumcision with the lack of success at breastfeeding. Circumcision is a well known cause of poor breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding problems like this may be caused by circumcision; I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here.

"to ensure cleanliness". How absurd. Calling 80% of the world (including all Europe) unclean because they don't mutilate their genitals.

I also have to add that FGM proponents often cite 'cleanliness' as one of their justifications for cutting girls. The hypocrisy is astonishing.
