    Just stop cutting anything from our out of children if not medically necessary. Leave their genitals alone, perverts. If someone has the wish to get multilated, he or she can decide for themselves at legal age.

    Mexico is looking into lifting wife beating limits and bar fight bitch slapping. Very little resistance…que la chingada I SAID VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE!.. Yeah so women’s rights always improving like that.

    I’m being super sarcastic 🤪. Please don’t block me like that other post about backyard bbk cremation. It’s was sarcasm 😂 and it got flagged!.

    Jfc, what the hell is wrong with people? This shit isn’t some gray, relativistic/cultural morality, it’s just straight up genital mutilation forced upon females. And for those that don’t know, female circumcision is much more destructive and dangerous than male circumcision (which I’m also against but apparently that’s a touchy subject for some folks).

    Edit:

    OP’s article is misleading: https://apnews.com/article/gambia-female-genital-cutting-7ab84af16d6b986025dd344d615bfe19

    It was blocked today but will potentially come back in a few weeks to be voted on again.

      A note on why it is more destructive: they generally just take off the whole damn clit. Imagine if male circumcision involved removing the whole head of the penis. You’d have a lot fewer dudes being okay with the cultural difference.

      And I hear you on male circumcision being a touchy subject. Guys will rant about it being as bad as female circumcision (it’s not) on one side and on the other you have people pointing out the benefits (complications with circumcision happen more often than instances of it being beneficial). Can’t we just leave kids’ genitals alone unless there is an actual issue? It’s so weird to obsess on changing their bits.

        Whelp, that’s barbaric.

        I was considering saying something about the law maybe being to restrictive, and that if people with vaginas want to have the procedure, they should be allowed to have it if they choose to, but in every other case, it’s banned, but the whole thing about the clit really turned me around on it.

        Cosmetic surgery to reduce the labia is a thing, and such surgery should be entirely voluntary for the individual it will affect, but just hacking and slashing to the point where it’s common to cut away the clit is just… No.

        Ban ban ban ban ban. I don’t even have a vagina and fuck that. It’s shameful enough that anyone performed that kind of mutilation, don’t backslide into ignorance by lifting the ban on it.
