Both are mutilation, but at least most of the Western world calls female circumcision what it is. Hint: The acronym you used. Getting some people to even admit circumcision even harms men is a gargantuan task.

FGM is performed to remove sexual pleasure and appeal, circumcision is not. They are not equal. I wouldn’t even lump circumcision in with mutilation.

Try telling that to circumcised men who almost never complain about their sexuality due to their surgery. Without being able to compare uncut to cut, men don’t notice or experience a loss of sensation. The sensors might, but the subjects don’t.

Unless he's in complete denial, or would rather not have more sexual pleasure for some reason, a cut man who can understand the objective fact that foreskin is innervated genital tissue will take notice of - and be at least a little bothered by - that fact. I know b/c I'm one.

You may be bothered, but not all men are. You can try to deny them that thought, but if they express it I choose to believe it same as I believe that you would or do object to the loss of it.

Not trying to deny anyone anything. Rather, I'm trying to prevent boys from being denied a healthy part of their own bodies. Since one can't know or control if a particular infant will object as I always have, infant circumcision is wrong unless absolutely medically needed.

I believe it is your right. More families today are choosing to opt out of cutting.

It is my right, but I was wrongfully prevented from ever exercising it when my foreskin was taken away from me, right after I was born & w/out my consent. How meaningful is a right if it can be immediately and permanently taken away?

Not to be too casual, but shit happens and life ain’t fair. The best fix? Don’t fix your sons. Start a new tradition based on your beliefs and personal experiences.

Already have, but it's based on their right to keep the healthy bodies they were born with, not my personal beliefs or experiences. If either wants to be cut at 18, that's his choice.
Yes, life ain't fair, but that doesn't mean we keep doing that which we learn to be wrong. #i2

I would have to agree it’s wrong and I don’t.
