It's not bigoted to be against mutilating boys. Don't hide behind religion to justify barbaric practices. Most Americans don't mutilate because of religious reasons.
Somehow we all agree that female mutilation is horrible, but when it comes to boys it's controversial.
- natroniks 4y agoIs it ok to have your 12 year old's teeth pulled? Is it ok to get your toddler's fremulum removed? I can argue that the very idea that the body should remain intact is itself steeped in religiosity. The belief that the body we start with, we should end with, is tied to the idea of Resurrection and the Last Judgment. > Somehow we all agree that female mutilation is horrible, but when it comes to boys it's controversial FGM is something that affects their body's function. What is the function of the male foreskin? What malfunction arises after circumcision?
