Many of the girls at risk of FGM are under the age of 5, the UN says. Around 230 million women and girls around the world are survivors of the practice.

One is objectively demonstrably worse. I’m not going to an anti circumcision post and saying “hey what about female genital mutilation” as is happening here. For what goal I’d add? I can’t see an objective aside from attempting to diminish the suffering being discussed. Obscuring the issue by conflating it with a completely different thing is wrong.
The objective is that when you champion pointless torture you’re for torture, you’re just thinking you stop at the right point. You’re no better than a bigot who only hates a certain nationality. As long as circumsion is legal this isn’t a moral stance, it is a cultural preference, bigotry.
I literally say that circumcision is bad but a completely different issue. You’re no better than someone screaming “men get raped too” when discussing the sexual assault cases of women. Its a separate thing completely and you trying to crowbar it into this conversation just shows you want to discredit the current topic. Shameful behavior.
