For what it's worth, I agree the nick shouldn't be performed without consent (consent is the issue!) & that a person could rationally tolerate zero risk for such cutting, but making up risk rate claims for the nick with no evidence is not ethicalhttps://quillette.com/2017/08/15/female-genital-mutilation-health-benefits-problem-medicalizing-morality/ …

"The stated equivalency of male circumcision and FGM by some people is medically false and is a dangerous attempt to normalise obvious gender violence toward women." No, pointing to the overlap (physical, symbolic etc.) is an attempt to de-normalize violence toward all children

The nick doesn't help! That's the point! It's vile & doesn't belong in our culture! There are zero health benefits! Ps: give a man an inch & they take a ruler!

Cutting off part of a little boy's penis doesn't really help either. That's also the point. It's vile and shouldn't be defensible under "religious freedom." Also, give a woman a victim narrative ("never compare FGM to circ") and she'll hold onto it for everything it's worth.

Speaking of Israel, ever look into what many Orthodox Jews still believe? https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1014930/jewish/The-Mitzvah-of-Circumcision-Part-I.htm …pic.twitter.com/x3V0uRna5B
