So many men wishing I had highlighted the harm of circumcision equally when I decried #FGM
Men need to lead the way in defending their foreskins & beyond, so I’m glad they are showing willing.
To this end, guard your balls, boys.
Don’t leave it to someone else.

FGM isn't comparable to male circumcision. FGM is brutal and malicious mutilation of the vulva and often removal of the clitoris, an attack on feminine sexuality and fullness of intimacy. MC is just removal of a random bit of excess skin that I find repulsive anyway.

Nothing says "objective analysis" quite like "Cut it of that boy's body b/c I find it repulsive."
#sarcasm It's not just skin & it isn't excess or random. What's FGM can also be less extensive than both what you describe & MC. Read this & educate yourselfhttps://quillette.com/2017/08/15/female-genital-mutilation-health-benefits-problem-medicalizing-morality/ …1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
I don't give a flying skittle about Male Circumcision, as I've said. But it's disingenuous, even slightly malicious, to compare it to Female Genital Mutilation. The equivalent would be cutting off a man's shaft down to an inch stub.

The only reason you've written that is because you didn't read the article I sent you, which clearly demonstrates everything you've written about comparison between MC & FGM is false. Why don't you read the article so you can see just how clear that is to all who've read it. #i2
