I'm staunchly against all genital mutilation. Circumcision is pointless and cruel and FGM is abhorrent. Don't want any doctor snipping off the foreskin of baby boys especially for aesthetic reasons (my boyfriend's is uncut and it's cute as fuck. Totally unnecessary.) But you have to admit the village elders holding down a preteen girl while her clit is removed with a knife and no anesthesia because God doesn't want her to feel pleasure during sex is.... Well. Somehow something you have to convince people not to do.

Well the places that hold down girls without painkillers hold down boys without painkillers too, and for the exact same reason, to reduce sexual pleasure.

What sickens me is how Americans can see it's wrong to do it to girls but are determined to remain blind to how it's equally wrong to do it to boys

It's funny how you willfully ignore half my comment. Oh well

You seem to be ignoring my entire post...

Both are done to young children or babies, depending on location. Both involve mutilating the genitals by cutting off the primary pleasure nerves, clitoris on girls, the foreskin on boys. Places where it's done with broken glass, sharpened bottletops or knives, without any painkiller, do it the same to both sexes, likewise countries that use sterile instruments and painkillers use them for both sexes.

Or did you think sub-Saharan Africa whips out an airconditioned hospital, a crack team of trained surgeons and some special equipment and drugs for the boys, but just "holds down with knives" for the girls?

How about we convince people not to do THAT?
