.@sapinker By calling circumcision “genital mutilation” you irresponsibly link the former practice with that of clitoral excision.

@jcscaliger That's not fair. There are many forms of genital mutilation.#i2@sapinker -
@IntactByDefault@jcscaliger@sapinker damaging another's genitals when they r most vulnerable is despicable be it a nick or removing parts. -
@briancoss@IntactByDefault@sapinker At least you recognize a qualitative difference between the two practices. -
@jcscaliger@briancoss@IntactByDefault@sapinker Genital mutilation without consent isn't medicine, it's sexual abuse, men or woman.

@sapinker it is disingenuous to characterize circumcision as mutilation. It is hyperbolic. -
@johnjmcgmd It's accurate, whereas "circumcision" is a euphemism which downplays the act.#i2@sapinker -
@IntactByDefault@sapinker you , sir, could use a dictionary -
@johnjmcgmd Indeed I could, sir, to show you that circumcision is a form mutilation.#i2@sapinker

@sapinker Regardless of cost benefit it should be a body mod only done by adults. In the best case its still not as bad as fgm, IMO. -

B/c their members come from a culture where circumcision has become culturally entrenched. 1.3 million babies are circumcised annually in the US; this is nothing more than an attempt at American drs covering their own arses.

@sapinker Now Steven, as a linguist you well know "genital mutilation" is inflammatory. Do circumcised men feel mutilated? I don't. -
@adnausica women dont feel mutilated by FGM when asked in adulthood. Also, what if N% men say they feel mutilated? U agree then?@sapinker -
@AstrokidNJ
@sapinker (a) FGM has objective harms, (b) if none cared, what entitles you to tell them they're wrong? It's a BS comparison. -
@adnausica @AstrokidNJ@sapinker Here is an essay on the comparisonhttps://www.academia.edu/8817976/Female_genital_mutilation_FGM_and_male_circumcision_Should_there_be_a_separate_ethical_discourse …

@sapinker An ancient superstition crept into American lives through the backdoor of horse-and-buggy hospitals, and stuck around too long.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
