FGM is what she campaigns against and rightly so, it’s her expertise and lived experience. Denigrating her success because m.circumcision campaigners apparently prefer to abuse Nimco on Twitter rather than fight their cause in a meaningful way is what’s disgraceful.

I’m glad she campaigns against fgm. But when her campaign includes downplaying the harm caused by mgm to make her message more palatable to people who might practice mgm i think she rightly deserves to be called a disgrace and a coward

When a charity focuses on raising money for MS are they ‘downplaying’ the harm caused by cancer and vice versa? No both are worthy causes which deserve their own (separate) campaigns. Harm, re. death/serious injury, if you want to go there, the statistics speak for themselves.

No but if during your charity for MS you say that cancer isn’t as serious your part of the problem. Thats what nimco has done. I do want to go there. Lets talk about harm, deaths caused by circumcision of males snd femsles in both medical and non-medical settings.

Ok, show me the stats. What is the death rate, per 100 for circ vs. FGM? I’m assuming the stats for FGM will also include those who die in childbirth (women and infants) as a result of FGM complications (not just in the aftermath of the procedure itself).

I would choose to see the success of those fighting FGM as a helpful stepping stone which helps bolster the fight against male circumcision as opposed to a hindrance.

So would i. Rxcept that Nimco actively downplayed the damage of male circumcision. Thats not a stepping stone. Thats part of the problem

I think you’re conflating ‘actively downplaying’ with ‘not actively campaigning against’. As for the stats re. harm (if defining harm as serious injury/death) -undeniable fact and reality. What success were anti-circ campaigns having before Nimco started campaigning against FGM?

They’re not. You may as well be trying to convince me that water isn’t wet. This is something we clearly will never agree on so best to leave it.

Well you are as in the dark about basic male anatomy as fgm proponents are about female anatomy

Ah ok I see. So, tell me, what problems do males encounter during childbirth as a result of their circumcision?
