What is the non cultural reason why they are doing fgm? Is it to make vaginas fit tighter around their small penises?

The argument is to prevent female promiscuity

In Islam women are seen as a wanton sex

To be fair, that view is pretty pan-cultural, in various degrees.

Cultures with a history of women as an extension of their men, yes.

Property of father, then husband, and finally son

As I said, pretty pan-cultural, yes.

Broth-els.

Sorry, I'm on my phone and can edit only so much.

And I just read the article. While I hold FGM abhorrent in a way few can, I still agree with the judge. I'm 10th Amendment Cat and this is a victory for that disrespected Amendment.

I encourage all states and territories to follow Michigan on making the practice illegal.

But it's a state and not a national issue.

So, having unmutilated female genitals is not part of the basic human rights you believe the national government should protect?

Eric Weinstein talks about that with Rogan

FGM means that women are forced to cut off parts of her vagina so that she can't have fun beeing fucked

though more about MGM

Another victory for gender equality. ✊

Again, nothing stops the states from making it illegal. I would hope they would do so.

It is a class B felony in Oregon where I vote and in property. It's still in deliberation in the Washington State legislature where I own property and my family are all voters. I'll see about having them all contact our representatives about returning SB 6563 to consideration and a vote.

i love how when its women being forced to do it, its "horrible", but when its men, thats just common sense.

My son is not circumcised despite his father and grandfather having been.

i am not referring to you, i'm referring to society at large

think about it, for the right its religious. to the left its only right that men are hurt. So to both sides its just common sense

Oh. Just thought I'd make that clear. I personally have a passion against genital mutilation that goes very deep.

I hope you appreciate the irony.

Oh I do. But it is the irony that is the cause of my passion on the subject.

It's a personal choice that no one should foist on a child.

Unless a child cannot effectively urinate, leave them alone until they can make thier own choice.

And live with the ramifications of that choice.

If it is legal in Michigan to cut off pieces of your infant's genitals, are there other laws that prevent you from, for instance, cutting off your infant's feet or hands? If not, why not, and if so, why are genitals excluded from this law?

Because circumcision probably. Not sure as I am not up on MI laws.

Male circumcision I should say

Its only "legal", becuase Muslims/Minoritys do it

Christians and Jews circumise boys as well.

I don't see why it should be legal tbh

I agree, which is why MI and other states are passing laws against at FGM.

They should all do so

```Christians and Jews circumise boys as well.```
a) that doesn't make it better
b) its worse for Females than for Boys as the boys still can enjoy fucking afterwards, the females can not
