genital mutilation you mean.

i don't understand how this abuse is not even discussed, almost ever, in US culture (which then dominates the rest of the world science + cultural debates).

There's all these quasi-arguments about what is gender, what is sexual assault, what is bodily autonomy. HELLO what about removing a portion of a baby's genitals as a routine procedure??? and its not even on the discussion table period.

talk about ingraining into male psyche that his body is violated from day 1, without consent. total disgusting abuse of power and weaponised misinformation.

Can you imagine female circumcision being brought in, or continued, today. The double standards is absurd.

Good to see Australia is making progress, it used to be close to 80% cut in the 50s and now its down to 26%.

Is it true that it's not illegal in any country? In other words, the only thing protecting men from genital mutilation is custom, right? Meanwhile, FGM is expressly banned even in countries that have never practiced it.

However, when we highlight this double standard, we're the bad guys for "derailing," right? Personally, I don't see it as derailing, but rather trying to ensure that our trains get to run on the same track towards justice.

I once brought up my thoughts about how circumcision violates bodily autonomy in a casual conversation with a feminist classmate at my college without mentioning anything about FGM or even women’s issues in general and she still had the fucking gall to immediately respond with “it’s not as bad as FGM tho”

Like how far are you willing to go not to have any fucking sympathy for men on anything.

You, a person with a fully intact set of genitals, are telling me, a man who actually did have his a part of his genitals cut off that you are the one most impacted by genital mutilation?

This shit makes me furious

It seems like the US is the odd man out in North and South America, possessing a circumcision rate of about 70%. Is there anyone who has evidence explaining why?
