Female genital mutilation is worse. Because reasons.

Would you happen to have been born Jewish?

Female genital mutilation is worse. Because reasons.

given how circumcized men reproduce, the mutilation does not seem to bother them so much... that does not make it good, but spoiling sex for women by depriving them of clitoris and whatnot is indeed a lot worse.

I came across a little boy crying on the steps of a synagogue once. I asked him what was wrong and he said that the Rabbi nicked his pullover.

Anyway, how can you ban female genital mutilation, and allow it on males?

Same as how we secretly go "right on " when a 15 yr old boy shags his teacher, but shake our head in disdain when a 15yr old girl does the same.

Yeah it probably is. It just shits me that we only ever hear about female genital mutilation, as if male mutilation is fine and dandy.

I'm whole and happy with it, As for Jews and muslims and Africans, I have enough problems without trying to feel sorry for people who still live in the bronze age, when it's that late...

I have zero empathy for those who perpetuate those barbarous customs.

This is it though is it not. I had a girlfriend who was 18 when I was 15. Lucky boy me.
Female mutilation is that mutilation. It stops the functioning of her body.

No way. I was talking with Moshe about that. He said he was just a few days old when he was circumcised. Reckoned he couldn't walk for at least a year after that.

[Svartalf]

But I bet he screamed a lot.

Circumcision? It's no skin off my nose.

[Svartalf]

indeed not :p

It's so fucking stupid that it's a criminal offence to tattoo a baby, but not to cut off part of his dick.

The fact is, it's mutilation. I would ban all body piercing as well, before the age of 16, whether it was with or without the consent of the child or parent.

Once they are over 16, let them cut off their foreskins to their hearts content.
Although, I think there would be a huge drop in the numbers.

Maybe they should pass a law that anyone who was circumcised can claim damages off their parents and the rabbi who did it.
