It's more complicated than that. See here http://www.academia.edu/8817976/Female_genital_mutilation_FGM_and_male_circumcision_Should_there_be_a_separate_ethical_discourse … Many people of every sex genitally cut without their consent (myself included) do in fact wish it had not been done. #i2

Oh, for godsake. Male circumcision is not remotely comparable to female genital mutilation. A more apt analogy would be having your entire dick cut off with a razor blade. Men only bring up male circumcision in FGM discussions in order to derail and make things about them. Stop.

Clearly you didn't read the article. Here it is again. Why don't you read it this time, and then let's see if you can use facts to tell us why you think
#FGM &#MGM are "not remotely comparable."#i2 http://quillette.com/2017/08/15/female-genital-mutilation-health-benefits-problem-medicalizing-morality/ …1 reply 2 retweets 2 likes -
Circumcision is a men's issue, done TO men BY men (almost always upon request of the baby's father). If you don't like it, organize with other men to change it instead of harassing feminists online.

We ARE organising with men women and intersex people to change it. Mothers can be adamant baby cutters too. It is also an issue for transwomen because the foreskin, if they have it, is a valuable part of the sexual apparatus. It's not "harassing" to point out factual errors

Trans "women" are men. Feminism is about the liberation of women (aka female people) from male oppression. Stop sounding like a men's rights activist and I'll stop treating you as one.

Ah, a TERF. I love how you think "(aka female people)" is a clarification. I'm not an MRA: I did say "can be...too" because that's a fact. http://www.circumstitions.com/adamant.html about halfway down. Men oppress women when they impose genital cutting on women's babies. We fight that.

so... it's impossible to tell who's female in the case of infants (your claim that THAT'S the real way women are oppressed here), but once someone has a baby you can suddenly tell that they're female/a woman? Don't you know men can give birth too, you bigot!!!!

You have put a lot of words in my mouth but I have no idea what you are talking about. Let's state this case gender-neutrally. We work against people imposing on people to cut parts off non-consenting people's healthy genitals, regardless of all their sexes and genders.

FGM is born of the hatred and disgust for women, and discussing it “gender neutrally” obfuscates that. Women worldwide are oppressed, stripped of their ability to feel any sexual pleasure, and valued only for reproductive capacity. This is a women’s issue.

It's really too bad you won't read the article that's been sent to you 2x now. Perhaps you might yet read it and learn something new. @circmovie also has an informative comparative analysis of #FGM & #MGM, based on facts & the testimonies of women who've undergone #FGM. #i2
