  Any update on the male genital mutilation happening thousands of times a day in America?

    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.

    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 never said they were equal, I said you can compare the two.

      I know they don’t cut the tip off, they cut the foreskin off, because a cereal magnate in the 1800s thought it would make it harder for boys to masturbate.

      Also, like the other dude said, women tend to be relieved to find out you’re circumcised.

      American women maybe, lol wtf.

      Like I said, just because it’s made socially acceptable doesn’t make the barbaric practice any more barbaric. Sorry about your hood, bro.

      Lol why would a woman care? All you do is pull back the skin and bam looks the same. My SO actually likes feeling the skin go back and forth. It’s a worthless procedure In a first world country with ample water to clean oneself. Not even that difficult to rinse.

    Yeah, but hurting men is okay according to the UN. Only women matter.

  I agree, but that’s a very specific multiplier…

  Why are all the comments about dicks

    Because circumcision is widely considered acceptable in America, so it may cause male victims of genital mutilation to feel distress when seemingly only FGM is discussed in the mainstream.

    Because its a super obvious double standard.

    Because it’s the bigger and more widespread problem being ignored.
