Those instruments are used on both sexes but it’s only called abuse when they’re girls.

Aye because it harms girls in ways it does not harm men. It cripples them sexually which is the intent. Many die from the procedure as well.

You’re generalizing from an anecdote. Even if you can find one man whose subjective individual experience was improved, there are others whose experience was harmed greatly. That’s why it should be up to the individual, like in the case you presented.

Exactly. And the "she wouldn't know comment" is obviously baseless. FGM is also deemed a religious requirement. That
#circumcision might be medically necessary (although this is extremely rare) simply cannot justify forcing it on a healthy infant.2 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -

FGM HAS NO RELIGIOUS BASIS, it's a sexist procedure that has no scriptural fundament in ANY RELIGION. There's nothing in TORAH, NOTHING IN THE BIBLE, NOTHING IN QURAN AND HADDITHS OF the Muslims... stop comparing the uncomparable... there is no religious background for FGM

"Both male and female circumcision are mentioned in the Hadith. Based on their reading of the relevant passages, some Muslim authorities state that 'circumcision' of both sexes is recommended or even obligatory, while others draw a different conclusion."https://quillette.com/2017/08/15/female-genital-mutilation-health-benefits-problem-medicalizing-morality/ …

"[U]ntil a consensus is reached in the Muslim world, the status of female genital cutting as a 'religious' or 'cultural' practice will depend on each community’s local evaluation of secondary Islamic scriptures. Dawoodi Bohra clerics view the practice as religious." #i2
