Because cutting off a foreskin in safe sterile environments, is comparable to little girls getting their entire clit cut off (equivalent of the entire head of the penis) and sometimes the labia sewn up, without any anaesthetic and usually without proper medical equipment????https://twitter.com/LingfieldLad/status/1188756968602779648 …

You’re missing the point, none of it is necessary, none of it is acceptable.

Male circumcision is necessary and perfectly acceptable in many cases, whereas FGM is purely for the purpose of oppressing women, and is never justified.

If you say it's necessary, which chronic, fatal, infectious diseases regularly affect male children within the first 15 years of life and can only be treated or prevented by severing functional anatomy from their genitals?

Phimosis is very common and often requires circumcision. Regardless FGM and male circumcision are not comparable, and it’s not anyone’s place to bring up male circumcision on a post about FGM. Literally the only time men complain about it is when woman talk about FGM.
