That's because female genital mutilation is not comparable to male circumcision in the slightest. They cut off practically the whole vagina with female "circumcision". With males, they just cut off a bit of extra skin that we don't need anyway for hygienic and aesthetic reasons.

EDIT: Didn't think I had to spell it out like this, but apparently for some people I do. By "vagina" I meant external reproductive system, as is common usage of the word.

You cant cut off a vagina. You might want to refresh your anatomy knowledge.

I knew someone was going to try to be cute and call me out on that. Obviously in this context when I say "vagina" I meant the female reproductive system as a whole, as is common usage of the word. I'm well aware where the literal vagina is, as I'm sure you're well aware what I meant. Thank you for contributing absolutely nothing to the conversation.

You still have it wrong! The female reproductive system is even more internal than the vagina!

They cut off the clitoris, which is external and the source for sexual pleasure. Women that have sadly had FGM still have periods and babies.

Dont call me cute just because you have no idea what you are talking about. Spouting mis-information contributes zero to a very serious topic.

So when you said "they cut off practically the whole vagina", you mean "they pratically cut off the whole female reproductive system"? Idiot.

You know, in a smaller subreddit this ridiculous argument of semantics would never happen. Whenever one of my comments in askreddit gets popular, or even somewhat popular, this bullshit always happens. It's annoying, because it completely derails the conversation.

I get the use of the word vagina for general discussions. But ypu are talking specifically about sexual organs, so this is the conversation to be a bit more specific.

It would be like me saying male circumcision is cutting off your whole penis.

The word you are looking for is vulva, it might help you with clarification

There are many variations of female circumcision, some more comparable to male circumcision than others. Also in male circumcision you cut off some of the most sensitive area of a sex organ.

[–]devilsonlyadvocate 7ポイント8ポイント  (3子コメント)

The bit they cut-off is not the most sensitive area. They cut-off the foreskin which COVERS the most sensitive area. That is why when one gets an erection the fore-skin rolls back revealing the sensitive part for sex.

[–]Ilovepoopies [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

It isn't the most sensitive, he said: '' some of the most sensitive''. With circumcision you lose sensitivity and nerve endings, which is the point at hand.

[–]devilsonlyadvocate [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

No, its that the most sensitive area no longer is protected, so it loses sensitivity over time. All the nerves are still there, they just become a bit more numb due to constant exposure.

[–]Ilovepoopies [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

If you cut off your eye lids, will the nerve endings on that skin still be there? Most certainly not. Same thing happens with the foreskin... It contains many nerve endings that are removed. You play a good devil's advocate, I'm curious where you're getting your misinformation.

It might be "hygienic" if there is no water around. I believe US is covered for this reason. Aesthetic? Sorry - nobody is cutting anything off my dick. It is my my fucking DICK for the love of god. Would you cut off a tip of your nose or sew your arsecheeks together for "aesthetic" reasons as well?

[–]graduallemon [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Yes, but female genital mutilation is a much worse issue than circumcision.

Let me rephrase, then, because I understand your point. Female genital mutilation is a worse issue than western circumcision. When, usually, doctors are present, and the child is being cared for.

[–]NumberH8 -2ポイント-1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Aesthetic? Go fuck yourself. It's my dick, and if I want the procedure, I'll have it done when I'm 18. It's blatant child abuse. But somehow is acceptable on the grounds of religious reasons.

[–]tuesti7c 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's a bit less religious and more for health reasons to my knowledge. There's a vast amount of parents who get it done because it's easier and less painful than waiting til 18

[–]xavierdc [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

health reasons to my knowledge.

Health reasons which are all bullshit pseudo-science. Wasn't the study behind this run in Africa, and the main reason was that the (recently) circumcised males didn't have much sex because they'd just been fucking circumcised, whereas those who remained uncut kept going at it like normal? Transmission rates are quite low anyway, in the single figures, even for high risk activities. It makes very little difference if the disease spreads at 3% rate or at a 1.5% rate, especially when awareness, testing and use of protection can reduce the chances of someone being infected to a minuscule figure.

As I said, I understand the other point of view, I just personally am happy it was done for myself.

hygienic and aesthetic reasons.

What the hell are you talking about?

[–]bob-omb_panic [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

.... You do know that's why almost all American males are circumcised right? Did you think people just did it for laughs?
