2	And the message is finally getting out there... I'm in many feminists groups and they are all universally against genital cutting. The hardest wrongs to correct are the ones in our own backyard. It's easy for us to point at what another culture does and call it barbaric. It's incredibly hard to look at our own culture and give it equal thought. Being against MGM isn't as common yet, but not because of feminism, it's because we're ethnocentric. I realize that no big name organizations tackle MGM yet, but there's many small organizations and in…	/r/MensRights	03/04/16 01:11 PM
6	And the message is finally getting out there... Feminist here. We're not okay with cosmetic genital cutting for male or female infants. All children should have equal protection from removing parts of their genitals.	/r/MensRights	03/04/16 02:03 AM
8	And the message is finally getting out there... Anti circumcision. It's genital cutting. The health benefits have already been debunked. Only the US and Israel still routinely preform it, the rest of the developed world abandoned the practice. Baby boys need the same protections as baby girls.	/r/MensRights	03/04/16 02:01 AM
1	This really resonated with me The father can also give the child up for adoption if he wants, if there's someone willing to adopt like a stepparent. If the mother gives the baby up to a save haven the father can claim the baby and the mother would have to pay child support. It already is equal.	/r/MensRights	07/03/16 04:40 PM
0	This really resonated with me Exactly. Just like mom can not pay child support and she faces the same consequences. Both parents have equal access to the kid after its born, but only the one who has to carry that child gets to decide to continue the pregnancy or not.	/r/MensRights	07/03/16 02:03 PM
5	This really resonated with me Debilitating cramps and months of spot bleeding tend to put us off. The painful insertion, risk of it perforating the uterus, risk of infection traveling quickly up the string, the expense...	/r/MensRights	07/03/16 02:01 PM
2	This really resonated with me She consented to sex, not to pregnancy. The pregnancy was a risk, that doesn't mean she loses rights to her body because she had sex.	/r/MensRights	07/03/16 05:30 AM
3	This really resonated with me Pretend you need blood. I'm O-, you're O-. You're bleeding out, the hospital is out of blood, and I'm the only O- in the hospital. I don't have to share my body with you even if you're going to die. That is bodily autonomy. I have that right. A woman doesn't have to share her body with a fetus even if kicking the fetus out kills it. Abortion is legal until the point of viability, when the fetus can theoretically survive without the mother. Abortion is legal because no one has the right to use an…	/r/MensRights	07/03/16 05:17 AM
56	This really resonated with me The difference is that in one scenario, it's about the woman's right to bodily autonomy and how she can't be forced to share her body to keep a fetus alive and in the other scenario it's the best interests of the child. I do agree that it sucks that there are not more birth control options for men. Y'all need a pill.	/r/MensRights	07/03/16 05:15 AM
