      There are some legal rights that women are granted in most Western countries that men do not have. As an example, the one I focus on is the legal protection girls have from non-therapeutic genital cutting.

      Oh fuck off. Y'all take a perfectly reasonable issue that most feminists would probably agree with you on and destroy any possibility of a nuanced discussion by comparing it to FGM.

      I didn't make any such comparison. I stated, correctly, that in most Western countries, girls are protected from non-therapeutic genital cutting by law, and boys are not.

      It is illegal to perform any kind of surgery on the genitals of girls, without immediate medical necessity. There is no such protection under the law for boys. Which is why 3000 boys a day are circumcised as infants in the US alone - an unnecessary surgery.

      I was right the first time. This is incredibly stupid.

      So, no actual arguments? Just 'this is stupid'. Why should girls be protected from non-therapeutic genital cutting, but not boys?

      No, no arguments other than it's very stupid. I guess you win

      #i2 Indeed, and any lingering doubt about that will be removed for you when you read this comparison of #FGM & #MGM by the leading #Yale bioethicist on the subject, and you find yourself unable to refute any of it with actual facts.https://quillette.com/2017/08/15/female-genital-mutilation-health-benefits-problem-medicalizing-morality/ …

      Every time the argument is 'When it's done to girls, it's worse'. And even when my argument is simply 'And when it's done to boys, it's also wrong', then I just get dismissed. I want girls protected from this AND I want boys protected too.

      As you know Jazhu, and as Earp (among many others) points out, Type IV FGM is, by any objective assessment, not as destructive or invasive as male #circumcision. So "every time" that argument gets made, it proceeds from a phony premise. #i2

          Agreed. And this is why, given the current knowledge base on this issue, I avoid harm comparisons. I could argue MGM is a bigger problem, even on the basis of numbers of victims of each alone. But I don't. Both are equal human rights violations. No matter the harm caused.
