I wholeheartedly believe that any parent that circumcised their kids should be charged with felony level child abuse.

You're mutilating an infant for aesthetical purposes.

If the idea of female genital mutilation sounds deplorable yet you don't mind circumcision you're fucked in the head and need put in a mental facility.

Not saying I agree with any unnecessary and involuntary surgery done to children, but conflating female genitalia mutilation with male circumcision is not the best way to make your point.

To people whose social norm already includes male circumcision it doesn't do anything but downplay how bad fgm really is. On just about every level fgm is more dangerous to perform and has significantly worse long-term outcomes.

They both suck, but fgm is objectively on an entirely different scale of harm.

I agree.
It's batshit crazy that it's common practice
