Because I disagree with what your view to such an extent that it’s completely pointless Yes, the clitoral hood is, but as you well know that’s not all that FGM involves for many girls. Remind me which version of male circumcision involves the intentional removal of the glans?

FGM = the intentional removal of the most sensitive part of female genitalia against the will of the individual. MGM = the intentional removal of the most sensitive part of male genitalia against the will of the individual. absolutely. 100%. comparable.

Only if you’re wilfully dishonest about what is removed for many girls subjected to FGM. Again, show me which version of male circumcision involves the removal of the glans? Does male circ lead to death in childbirth for those subjected to it?

How about this, we agree to drop the comparisons if you agree to only fight against those forms of FGM that do involve what you're claiming, only FGM IIB, IIC and III have that childbirth risk, only those and IB have the partial clitordectomy.

Either you have to abandon the fight to protect those girls who are subjected to less invasive procedures than boys are at a much, much higher rate, or admit that on the average FGM is less invasive than circumcision. The only option three is to continue to be dishonest.

Plus of course you are pushing the false myth that the glans is the most sensitive part of the penis, it's not, it's been shown to be the least sensitive part time and time again, in pretty much every study of comparative sensitivity

So now you’re advocating denial of biological fact in order to equate the two? The glans of the penis is the male equivalent to the female clitoris. The foreskin is the male equivalent to the female labia minora. This is biological fact.

The make forskin is equivalent to the clitoralhood, connective area between clitoralhood and inner labia as well as the inner labia. Foreskin is alot of skin as are these areas on a female. The clit is small and many structures are not differentiated as they are for penis

‘The clit is small’. How on Earth is that relevant? The female clitoris is the equivalent to the male glans. It really is that simple. I’m not going to continue to engage with biology and fact deniers. It’s hopeless.

Its relevant because you are misclassifying both the harm of mgm and fgm because your knowledge of male anatomy is incorrect

Fgm does not remove only the clit. It removes either: the clitoralhood (analagous to the foreskin; or: the clitoralhood and the clitoris. Circumcision removes tissue analagous to tge clitoralhood BUT...

FGM does not remove the entire clitoris, as it is a mostly internal organ.

Well the equivalent of that would be removing the shaft of the penis in addition to the glans wouldn’t it, which is why I keep stating that the two are different, biologically and culturally.
