So, here we are back to comparing harm. What percentage of males die after circ, and what percentage of females die after FGM (including those that die as a result of complications in childbirth)?
May I suggest it’s unlikely you’ll find stats for men that die in childbirth, because men don’t give birth (oddly enough). Another reason why FGM and male circ are not the same.
You know all men start life as babies, right, and some of them die of circumcision?
Yes. You seem to be misunderstanding my point.
This looks at the FGM affects on CHILDBIRTH. Men don’t give birth, therefore circumcision cannot possibly have an impact on men when they give birth, because it doesn’t happen! https://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/topics/fgm/obstetric_problems_fgm/en/ …
Why is it only a problem when giving birth? It’s bad enough dying from the surgery itself.
https://www.hart-uk.org/blog/female-genital-mutilation-and-maternal-mortality-rates-in-sudan/ … My whole point is the two are not the same, biologically or culturally, this is one factor that highlights why.
Which type of FGM are you referring to? The WHO recognizes four, one of which includes a tiny nick that leaves no permanent damage. Even that is banned.
Read the links. How is this helping you stop male circ? As I said to the other poster, go forth and campaign against male circ, nobody is stopping you! You’re never going to be successful if you spend most of your time arguing with people on Twitter.
2/2 is the cowardice of people like nimco making her message of genital integrity more palatable to a mgm+ culture by downplaying the harm of mgm. Genital cutting damages sexual organs and violates human rights regardless of the person’s sex
I don’t think comments like this do you any favours. You’re not putting your efforts into campaigning against male circ, you’re putting them into bad mouthing others who have done wonderful things for girls at risk of this horrible practice. That won’t get you anywhere.
Pointing out the sexism of saying that genital cutting is ok for boys but not for girls is definitely helping the cause
