229 boys die each year in the U.S. from this alone and nobody bats an eye. The comments are full of “FGM is monstrous”

One of the top comments in the thread was saying "just because fgm is bad doesn't mean male circumcision is." Fucking disgusting.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A 10-year-old girl has bled to death after undergoing female genital mutilation in Somalia, an activist said, a rare confirmed death in the country with the world's highest rate of the practice.

It's a tragedy, but no less a trading than the half dozen boys who have died from MGM in the recent news.

And I don't see any comments section in apnews.

It’s funny, one girl in a third world country dies from FGM and multiple people, male and female, are outraged, as they should be, while also supporting or turning a blind eye to MGM in many countries such as the US.

And to be honest, I wouldn’t even be mad if circumcision stayed around. I’m just irritated that it’s forcefully taken from us when we are born without our consent. We should be given the choice when we are 18.

Even if you are raped, not saying that it won’t fuck you up in the head or that I’m condoning it, you will still get to have at least the chance to have sex again. Men will never get to experience what having foreskin is like. And hundreds of men die every year in developed countries from this shit.

I fucking hate this world sometimes.

No one cares when boys die from this.

The way society has such completely different standards for how they care about bad things happening to boys verses girls has made me realize that not only is equality impossible, the push for equality is merely misandry in disguise. Something about humans are wired to make people care much less about males, and as such equality can never be achieved. Much like no matter how equal the laws are written, they'll always be enforced far lighter on women, so women can safely push for harsher laws to destroy men, especially around sex crimes (which we see happening the world over).

The problem with male circumcision is the same problem with the death penalty.

After you kill a guy, you may find out he was innocent, then it is too late, right?

Once you become an adult, you may wish you never had a circumcision. Can you really reverse it...

If you become an adult and you decide want a circumcision, fine, go get one. No tragedy.

Source for your statistic please?

Yeah, we should just all agree to not mess with children's genitals.

Man that sentence sounds so weird that it even need to be said!

Roughly 5,000 heart transplants performed worldwide each year; about 2,000 are performed in the U.S. alone. Patients on drugs to prevent rejection of the new heart are at risk for developing kidney damage, high blood pressure, osteoporosis (a severe thinning of the bones, which can cause fractures), and lymphoma (a type of cancer that affects cells of the immune system). The overall 1-, 5-, 10- and 15-year survival is respectively 77%, 67%, 53% and 42%. This means 2100 of those 5000 will die within 15 years, and 1150 of those will die within a year, often times within 30 days.

The morbidity rate associated with tonsillectomy s 2% to 4% due to post-operative bleeding; in the US 3.6% of children are readmitted to hospital following tonsillectomy, mainly because of dehydration or bleeding. The mortality rate is 1 in 15,000, due to bleeding, airway obstruction, or anesthesia complications.

Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day. An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled. More than half of all road traffic deaths occur among young adults ages 15-44.

It is estimated 229 deaths per year from circumcision in the United States. Bollinger estimated that approximately 119 infant boys die from circumcision-related each year in the U.S. (1.3% of all male neonatal deaths from all causes). There are several case reports of death in the medical literature.

STFU you ignorant morons with this circumcision crap and stop worrying about other people's penises.

First off, you’re comparing some savage Somalian tribesman hackin off some Vaj to a common and relatively harmless medical procedure-male infant circumcision. Absolutely zero boys die from the same thing.

4,000,000 babies born in the u.s. yearly About 75% are circumcised. (3,000,000) So... Out of 3million babies, you’re saying 229 die?

So there is effectively a 0.0076% mortality rate?

Go find another cause to cling onto because this one is a fucking joke.

GarageSideDoor · 2018-07-20T18:41:40+00:00

Oh no, how dare people call FGM "monstrous". In a news story about a female child dying, how dare they not talk about men? This is why no one takes you people seriously.
