One common pro-slavery argument was, 'they're happy to be slaves!' She goes into an anti-slavery group & chants, "black folk are happy to be slaves!" Many women were happy their feet were bound, as it was regarded as lower status if you weren't - like circ in some communities.

As you rightly point out, most men also have no clue of the facts of circumcision. Most don't know they lost 80% of sexual sensation. Most have been told it's a "tiny" flap of "extra" skin - they're always surprised to learn it's ~15 sq inches or so.pic.twitter.com/YJHMpZYGqA

How about pleasing everyone by leaving babies intact and letting them decide for themselves as adults whether they want to be cut or not?

Adult circ is not the same as infant circ. Done in infancy, there is no feeling of loss or nerve, the skin can grow with the cut resulting in a better outcome, less risk and complications, less cost, etc

Actually baby’s do feel pain from the procedure.

You're absolutely right; newborn babies cannot be given the same anesthesia as an adult and often are given no anesthesia at all. Often the excuse is given that they "won't remember" the pain: http://www.cirp.org/library/pain/taddio2/ … https://www.iaim.net/extreme-trauma-from-male-circumcision-causes-damage-to-areas-of-brain/ …https://intactamerica.wordpress.com/2013/09/18/circumcision-and-rape-does-a-victims-memory-matter/ …

Comparing circ to rape isn’t a good look. Already so many of you propose we allow FGM when you’re practically pissing your pants from shrieking male circ is wrong. Hipocrisy! Sickos!

We don’t support FGM just like we don’t support MGM.

I’m glad to hear you say you don’t. Stop equation the two because it’s very confusing when you hear statements like “if you support circ then FGM is ok”

It's clear all of us - including you - think both #FGM & #MGM are wrong. It's also clear what you're experiencing is not confusion but horror at your own failure to realize this sooner.
