For those of you who think circumcision isn't comparable to female genital mutilation

    The female clitoris has 8,000 sensitive nerve endings. The male foreskin has 20,000 sensitive nerve endings.

    Now I know no one who's been cut wants to admit they had something taken away from them, but maybe it's not a good idea to pass it on and do it to your sons.

    The difference is that even with circumcision the male organ remains very sensitive while if you remove the clitorus there is no remaining sensitivity. The two are in no way comperable.

    Surely the location of those nerve endings shouldn't make a difference, right? I mean, location doesn't matter according to your posts in the abortion forum. Why should it matter here?

    I think it should be to an individual to decide for himself if he wants the snip when he gets to the age of majority, and not have it decided for him.

    First of all, it is much more handsome with a cut. Secondly, the nerve endings are more exposed when that skin is removed, which
    may be the reason for the "Wam Bam, thank you ma'am" syndrome. Thirdly, I don't remember feeling any pain, thank you god.

    Just one thing.; FGM actually comes in many different forms and not in every case is the entire clitoris removed.

    I think this is appropriate.
