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.

True but that’s not what these men’s rights people are saying

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.

Comparable in the same way that because I was circumcised, sex is completely unpleasant for me. /s
Oh wait, I’m circumcised and the only impact it has had is that women have thought my dick wasn’t particularly weird. And yeah I’m not saying it’s weird not to do it, it’s just a perception I’m aware of. Women who have FGM done to them have an awful awful time that I will never know the first thing about personally, so I find it pretty shitty that people pretend it’s the same or even fucking similar because it isn’t, at alllll
