Comparing doesn't mean equating them. They obviously have some similarities. #i2

i understand that they have ~some~ similarities but female circumcision is cutting the clitoris off, whose sole purpose is for sexual pleasure. make circumcision does not get rid of a male’s ability to experience sexual pleasure.

Not all forms cut off external clitoris, though. Current case being prosecuted in Michigan is a form where clitoral hood is nicked/scraped/pinched. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/04/genital-cutting-indian-doctor-women-khatna/ …

The only similarity is they both involve genitals. One is horrific inhumane torturous mutilation. The other is minor and incomparable to the horrors of FGM. Don’t even act like there’s a real comparison to be made, whoever you are random man who’s opinion no one asked for.

people love to say that male circumcision is horrible. and i can understand that. but the baby will never remember the pain and will still be able experience sexual pleasure where as FGM tends to happen to girls when they’re older and takes their ability to experience pleasure
-
like.. you can’t argue that they’re even remotely on the same spectrum in terms of how fucked up they are.
-
Exactly, like yeah I don’t think people should be circumcised against their will but it’s nothing like FGM where it’s often done without any type of anesthesia with dirty implements and involves complete mutilation. It can be so bad that they can never have sex without pain again
-
exactly. not to mention all the nerve damage that comes with that. the clitoris is literally the mecca of nerve endings (i think it’s about 8,000 nerve endings which is double of those on the penis)
