Well, there is at least one distinct difference, and that's FGM removes the clitoris and most ability to have sexual pleasure. A circumcision doesn't do that.
That said, no Christian should circumcise their child. They resolved this as not necessary for Christians, WAY back in the 1st century when the original Apostles were still alive.
In western countries, female genital cutting is almost always portrayed using the most severe form (Type 3, infibulation) where the external clitoris, hood, and labia are removed with the vagina stitched almost shut. This is also the rarest type. In raw numbers of baby girls, South East Asia has the highest rate of FGM. However their practice, called Sunat (Type 4, scraping), consists of just a small cut on the clitoris or clitoral hood, leaving otherwise fully fuctional genitalia.
Every society that practices FGM also cuts their boys. For a given culture, the methods and conditions are the same. Tribes in the middle of nowhere in Africa that cut girls with dirty glass do the same to boy's foreskin. Wealthier Muslim countries such as Egypt and Malaysia have both done in a clinic by doctors. FGM is not always done to prevent women from having sex, nor is it always done in a heinous and barbaric way.
What is the purpose of FGM?
Not necessary for anybody. Fuck the Christian Bull shit. Muslims(humans shouldn't be chooping up babies and tell others not to
Not just from the clitoris that women get pleasure from. So I think your wrong, it's a part they can for sure but so is men's foreskin.
I think that's wrong. We have our traditions why do we say other people's traditions around the word is wrong? When we do something very similar? Its interesting
I said "most ability" not "all ability". FGM is more akin to what the Muslims would do to their African slaves that were male, not just cut off their testicles, but their dick as well. If Jews want to cut the kid's whole dick off instead of the tip, I'd be for making it illegal.
Let me share with you a great true story about other people's traditions around the world:
British in India were faced with the practice of “suttee” – the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. General Sir Charles Napier was impeccably multicultural: “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”
The practice of suttee disappeared almost immediately.
But your missing the the fact its the same thing. Regarding cutting something off. Ie the boys don't even get to know what it is like to have it.
I'm probably putting it across wrong.
Its the same thing....
FGM is akin to castration, circumcision is akin to some idiot getting piercings and other body modifications.
Both are stupid, but one is decidedly more stupid.
What's worse, is no female would voluntarily get FGM.
Isn't it impossible to say cutting of a part of your dick makes less difference?
There is a mistaken belief that the foreskin is just "a small piece of skin". When erect, the average penis has a length of 5.2 inches and a circumference (girth) of 5 inches.
Most circumcision procedures will cut 1 to 2 inches behind the tip of the penis. Let's do the math:
1.5x2=3 length of skin removed (average of 1.5") times 2 (the foreskin is a doubled-layered fold)
3x5=15 length times circumference
In an adult, that's at least 15 square inches of densely innervated penile skin that has been removed.
A old Jewish guy once told me they are collected swoen together u for the store. But it's a tradition
Even worse, the foreskin remnants are now made into a "rejuvenating" facial cream for women.
[The Guardian: Does the ‘foreskin facial’ mark the end of the world?] (https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/shortcuts/2018/nov/26/foreskin-facial-kate-beckinsale-serum-anti-ageing)
Both Ellen and Oprah have promoted it on their TV shows. And they laugh while describing how the foreskin was removed from boys
The foreskin doesn't have the practical function of generally preventing orgasms and sexual pleasure, and thus dulling the sex drive. It's part of what makes us human. Your taking a portion of their humanity away with FGM.
I say it does. My fs is amazing!!!!! And keeps out stuff from the eye and keeps the membrane of the Penis covered The same thing was said about dogs tales correct. Now we stopes cutting of the dogs tales.
How could any one know?
Your talking about taken away the humanity what they want to do in their culture why do the west interfere. While Chopping off boys foreskin?
Let me be more clear, FGM mostly prevents orgasms and dulls the sex drive. It takes a portion of person's humanity away because the sex drive is partially what makes us human.
That said, I'm sure your foreskin is just peachy.
