Like just because some women across the world are experiencing genital mutilation too doesn’t excuse the fact that the USA still does genital cutting en masse for over a century like … bringing awareness to male circumcision is NOT undermining women’s rights or issues. I’m simply trying to bring bodily autonomy and equal rights for all
Well, it is. Female circumcision was banned in 1996 and labeled “mutilation”. The definition of mutilation is “an act or instance of destroying, removing, or severely damaging a limb or other body part of a person” If circumcising a woman is mutilation, it’s only fair to acknowledge circumcising a man is also mutilation. Genital cutting without consent is a violation of bodily autonomy, regardless of gender.
Just because someone doesn’t know what they’re missing doesn’t mean there’s nothing missing. Plenty of women choose labiaplasty or cosmetic procedures as adults, the key difference is consent. We don’t tattoo or pierce babies just because lots of adults like tattoos or piercings. Permanent body modifications should be a personal choice, not something forced on someone before they can decide for themselves
