lol I think this line of thinking should be encouraged. Maybe they’ll spend less time fighting vaccines and more time fighting circumcision which is a barbaric and pointless practice anyway.
Yeah the world could definitely do without unnecessary genital mutilation on anybody, male or female. Even though it is clear that their motivation comes from the wrong place, but still
Because they aren’t comparable and don’t belong in the same sentence honestly. The name is the same, genitals are getting mutilated, but one usually means a lifetime of pain and discomfort while the other usually means some loss of sensitivity.
Female circumcision is done explicitly so that the girl will never experience sexual pleasure. No anesthesia, sometimes they rub animal shit in, sometimes they sew the vagina close to get forced open on the wedding night.
Male circumcision is usually done in a hospital, and usually the intent is more something like thinking it prevents phimosis - which it might actually even be medically necessary in that case. It’s not done in a way to deliberately destroy function.

Yep. The ethical dilemma here is whethe-hh^h how best to use their ignorance and spotlight-stealing for the good of humanity for once.
Both are bad, but not comparable. Usually you don’t have your holes sewn together with a male circumcision.
Why does someone always butt in with “they’re not the same!!!1!” when people are just saying they’re both bad?
