If I’m not mistaken, the FGM they’re referring to is cutting off their clitoris.
To compare to circumcision would mean just trimming the clitoral hood exposing the clitoris, not cutting it off.
I’m circumcised, they didn’t cut the entire tip off, I can still use the lil guy. Also, like the other dude said, women tend to be relieved to find out you’re circumcised.
I see where you’re coming from, but I just don’t think comparing the two is very equal.

I totally didn’t predict this wildly bizarre comment’s existence here or anything

It’s very predictable, because nobody is doing anything to address the problem. I’ve been making the same comment for years lol. I’ll make it again next year, I’m sure, when I remember that the US is as bad as African countries in terms of genital mutilation.
Im sorry you think it’s bizarre to compare different types of genital mutilation. That cereal magnate really fucked you guys up.

Yeah every time FGM comes up some weirdo tries to redirect the conversation to circumcision (and completely away from FGM, all lives matter style) as if it’s comparable which it obviously isn’t. Good to know about you

FGM is far worse, but cutting of part of peoples dicks without consent isnt great either.
Nudding@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Me personally, I think they’re both bad. One is happening in my backyard and nobody is batting an eye. We all agree FGM in Africa is bad, yeah? Okay let’s try and convince the Americans that cutting part of a dick off is pretty fucked up too.
They are definitely, 100% comparable though, did you see how I did it in my comment? The world didn’t end.
