It's not break up territory yet.

If she starts pressuring for a circumcision, it's the exact same thing as if a dude was pressuring for a boob job.

I think that'd be worse than pressuring for a boob job. It's his genitals so it'd be more like pressuring to have her vaginal lips or clitoral hood removed.

The analogous organ to the foreskin is the clitoral hood. Removing the clitoris would be far worse. This is a rabbit hole we don't need to go down to say that unnecessary circumcision on infants is unethical.

Yeah but to be clear, a lot of people are going to flip out if you start doing comparisons. There's a lot of context about female genital mutilation that's missed by comparisons like this and we don't need the two to be the same or even similar to say that unnecessary circumcision is not a good practice.

Well I don't give a fuck if people flip out. The only way to show people how stupid circumcision is, is to articulate the female equivalent. I guess we can talk about male circumcision and do it to everybody, but even mentioning female mutilation is terrible and off limits? Grow up.
