      There are 200m women who have been victims of FGM. Not only do they sometimes bleed to death; there could be no more vile & powerful way of showing a young girl that she is a lesser person - a chattel - than attacking this fundamental part of her identityhttps://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/10/07/put-sock-men-time-end-global-injustices-bigotry-towards-women/amp/ …

      Can we now talk about ending male genital mutilation undertaken for religious or cultural reasons with no medical need or benefit. Circumcision must be discouraged and eventually outlawed. Have always wanted #Borisforpm.

          There's no comparison with fgm. The m gives the game away.

          There’s a clear comparison. Society has just gotten used to cutting boys genitalia. No less acceptable IMO

          I didn't say it was acceptable ,there's reason why with some female it's called mutilation . It's a whole lot worse. Males sometimes need a circumcision for medical reasons.

          Sorry, obviously I do understand that there is a medical need sometimes and have no problem at all with that. Non medical circumcision would count as mutilation as far as I’m concerned. Religious freedoms having preference over the rights of the child is what infuriates me.

          Shall I just say that the operation on women is a deep deep cut . violent nasty and more than is needed by the needs of religion.
