Good lord, y'all

I love when men bring up male circumcision to derail FGM discussions. I tried to school someone, but I don't know if I got the point across well enough, I was kind of seeing red.

1. I don't know why.

But I'll guarantee every time FGM gets brought up, male circumcision is somehow put right up there. You did good.

Some day I'll start a thread on breast ironing just to see if they bring up male circumcision there as well-- in fact I think it's been done before and they did.

2. Bwuh?

God, they're such self-absorbed babies. The world does not revolve around them.

6. Breast ironing???

No, no... there are things I'm better off not knowing about.

3. I can't believe that numbnuts referred to circumcision as MGM!

I assume that means Male Genital Mutiliation. Give me a farking break! It's like comparing a haircut to a decapitation. Great job schooling him, Chovexani.

And the whining about how there's no Men's Forum. :rofl: Why doesn't he start one? Jeebus, do women have to do everything for him?

4. Great response!

:yourock:

"Because, as with damn near every gender-related issue, many people bring up the male "side" as it were to belittle or silence women and our issues. It's a strawman tactic used again and again, no matter what the women's rights issue. Rape, domestic violence, the right to choose, you name it. All too often it's used as a diversionary tactic to shut us up."

This is a keeper.

5. Yes, it is a "keeper." I'm bookmarking it now.
