"Unlike male circumcision, female genital mutilation also inhibits sexual pleasure." Sorry, have you ever been a circumcised man?

The Guardian is a disgusting publication. They have sacrificed all of their credibility on the altar of feminism. The Guardian now has the credibility of Jezebel. Good job editors.

Oh dear.

"Type one FGM would be like removing a male’s testes, type three is equivalent to removing both the testes and the penis. There is no way that would be deemed acceptable," says Taina Bien Aime, director of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, who adds that comparisons between male and female circumcision are unhelpful.

So comparisons between male and female circumcision are unhelpful but your absolutely ridiculous anatomical comparisons between FGM and castration or complete emasculation, those are totes legit. Got it.

Im circumcised. As an uncircumcised friend pointed out, the foreskin covers the head of the penis keeping it sensitive. When you are circumcised, the penis head constantly rubs against the fabric of your clothes desensitizing it. I know that im not as sensitive as I used to be. I miss my foreskin.

Even if that was true, which it isn't, but for the sake of argument let's say it is. That doesn't matter. You shouldn't infringe on the basic human rights of an infant by mutilating their genitals for ritual, religious, social or cosmetic reasons.

What's so fucking hard to understand? Don't mutilate children's genitals. Period.

surfer_ryan · 2017-09-09T23:20:04+00:00

This is the ones men's rights thing I can get behind... I mean I've talked to dozens of people who think this should 100% still be a thing for males but I say oh well let's just start doing it to women everyone loses their minds. This is probably one of the biggest double standards in our society for men.

Eryemil · 2017-09-09T23:24:02+00:00

Basically every thing in this article is wrong. That's not even hyperbole. Fuck this gynocentric Earth.

_shikaka · 2017-09-10T00:58:13+00:00

My ex had problems due to being circumcised. Makes me glad I never got my son circumcised despite my obstetricians encouragement.

qemist · 2017-09-10T01:48:39+00:00

Since FGM is defined as any cutting of the female genitalia it is obvious that FGM might inhibit sexual pleasure or it might not.

Thanks to the other commenters for saving me some time. No way am i reading this piece of shit.

Droidarc · 2017-09-10T04:23:19+00:00

My family celebrated my circumcision like a wedding. It's a tradition around here so every man i know is circumcised. When i try to argue with some people about our circumcision, they tell me it's for our health.

Singulaire · 2017-09-10T02:28:07+00:00

Moses Maimonides, probably the single biggest authority on Jewish tradition in all of history, disagrees with this assertion.

ARedthorn · 2017-09-10T05:55:23+00:00

The breakdown of types of FGM in this article are... only loosely correct.

Type 1a is removal of the clitoral hood only Type 1b is removal of the clitoris Type 2a is removal of the labia minora Type 2b is removal of the labia minora and clitoris Type 2c is removal of the labia majora and clitoris Type 3a is the sealing of the labia minora Type 3b is the sealing of the labia majora Type 4 is everything else

1 is nowhere near equivalent to the removal of the testicles- 3 is. 1a is (roughly) equivalent to circumcision, and 1b is roughly equivalent to damaging or cutting the glans off entirely (which happens sometimes by accident during circumcision).

Basically, they're taking the worst forms of each type and saying that they're the whole thing.

McFeely_Smackup · 2017-09-10T23:13:37+00:00

Keep in mind that "Female Genital Mutilation" includes anything and everything from cutting off the clitoris and stitching the vulva shut, to a ritual pinprick bloodletting.

When people use the term FGM as if it means only the most extreme examples, they're either expressing shocking ignorance on the subject, or deliberate dishonesty.

Luchadorgreen · 2017-09-10T01:44:04+00:00

I'll preface this by saying that I've been following the Men's Rights Movement for some time and I agree with a lot of the core concepts. That being said I don't feel that this is one of the big issues we should be focusing on. I think we all know that having a circumcised penis isn't the end of pleasure. Does it inhibit pleasure? Probably. But maybe we should focus on more glaring issues for now and try to move ahead slowly and reasonably. Divorce, Prison Sentences, and the countering some of the more ridiculous claims of feminist ideology. It's a slow crawl up. I'd like to see this very worthy movement apply reason and take our time in light of a society that just isn't ready to hear us yet.

Edit: Mainly my point is that women aren't the enemy. I would really hate for that to become our Mantra.

CreeperCooper · 2017-09-10T22:45:29+00:00

But the argument against male circumcision isn't about sexual pleasure at all.

It's about consent (which the kid didn't give), it's about forcing religion or a tradition on a child who didn't agree with it. It's about lying to people:"No skin is a lot more clean!".

Bitch, living in the west means the average male showers, what, 5 times a week on average?

It's about forcing these babies into something they didn't agree with, and then telling everyone it's totally normal and fine. It's about taking away choice.

Goldblood4 · 2017-09-11T16:52:44+00:00

I'm circumsized and was a virgin until recently. She finished 2 times and I didn't finish once :(

mymraccount_ac · 2017-09-10T05:24:12+00:00

Am I the only that likes my circumsized penis?

MyOldNameSucked · 2017-09-10T05:19:54+00:00

A desensitized dickhead and a mutilated clitoris are not the same thing.

mrsniperrifle · 2017-09-10T03:26:50+00:00

I am circumcised, no problem with sexual pleasure. Having my first kid in January .

Edit: Downvoted because people are insecure about their dicks.

Minamoto_Keitaro · 2017-09-10T05:18:11+00:00

I have and I'm fine? It's not nearly the same as FGM...

abigstarwarsfan · 2017-09-10T04:24:29+00:00

Umm, I'm circumcised with a big dick - not a problem, women love it and so do I. I personally will have it done to my own son because I don't want his wiener looking different then mine. I guess this makes me a bad person, you are all a bunch of whining bitches...this sub may as well be called "whining men cry online about everything because feminism ruined it all" goddamn I'm unsubscribing - you buncha of fucking pussies finally did me in - I can't take your incessant bitching anymore. Grow some fucking balls and go outside...piece of advice, stop being bitches and maybe women wont treat you like one....

2017-09-11T02:23:22+00:00

Lot of salty ant eater dicks in this thread. Can't even announce my happiness and satisfaction with my circumsized penis without getting downvoted into oblivion. Guess this subreddit is an echo chamber and no one wants to hear anything that goes against what they believe or think.

Someone is actually happy with their "mutilated" penis gasp.

You guys are starting to sound like Anti Vaxxers especially since people are getting upset, replying to me with salty comments and downvoting me if I dare say I'm happy with it.

chambertlo · 2017-09-10T01:15:18+00:00

CIRCUMCISION DOES NOT INHIBIT SEXUAL PLEASURE.

RavensHonor · 2017-09-10T04:13:21+00:00

Blah blah blah...

Again with this complete non-issue.

deville05 · 2017-09-10T06:18:22+00:00

Is this statement wrong though? Why haven't we heard of circumcision in men causing problems in sex? And if it's not wrong, why are you people mad? Is the author implying that hence it's ok for men to be circumcises? Being angry makes sense in that case because it's still a brutal archaic violent form of mutilation and child abuse. but if we are gonna point out that facts are not racist or sexist, then statements like the shouldn't be triggering us. Don't know about the rest of the article though

2017-09-10T07:21:40+00:00

Yes and they are correct
