I find it sad, how people universally agree that female genital mutilation is bad, because cutting off parts for no medical reason is bad.... but then do the same thing to boys, "just because".
- the_af 4y agoI think it's barbaric for boys too.
- wutbrodo 4y agoMost people don't have anything remotely close to what you'd call "beliefs", so no consistency is required between one pseudo-belief they might hold and another.
- Sharlin 4y agoWell, people don't universally agree that FGM is bad because there are people who practice FGM. Also, most people think MGM is… if not barbaric, at least weird, but are somewhat lenient in the name of religious tolerance. The US is the extremely weird outlier.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoYeah, i heard that about the US.. that hospitals in some places ask parents directly to do the circumcision after birth as a "default option", and parents have to "opt-out" of it. Really sad and barbaric. Where i live (small eu country), there were some movements to make it illegal (unless medically needed), but it didn't pass, not to offend certain minorities.
- BitwiseFool 4y agoIf you want something even more shocking, ask them how they feel about docking a dog's ears or its tail, then ask them how they feel about routine infant circumcision. For maximum cognitive dissonance, inform them that docking ears and tails is done for both aesthetic and purported hygiene reasons.
