There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die.

Elle Palmer Ren Dissproportionately Crémieux "Raising awareness" of #FGM is really desensitizing people against male infant #circumcision. There is no shortage of groups that oppose #FGM. Everyone already knows cutting girls and women is bad. This is just moral-grandstanding designed to eclipse male infant #circumcision.
Elle Palmer Ren Dissproportionately Crémieux It is a sexist double standard to openly oppose the forced cutting of girls, but to make excuses for the forced cutting of boys; the same excuses for forced male genital cutting fail for forced female cutting.
Elle Palmer Ren Dissproportionately Crémieux In reality, there is no real need to "raise awareness" of #FGM. There no real need to make any case against it. All people in the west instinctively know it's bad, oppose it, and agree it must be stopped. There's no real virtue in "speaking out" when everyone already agrees.
Elle Palmer Ren Dissproportionately Crémieux The real purpose in bringing up #FGM in the West is as a distraction; a smoke screen background against which to talk about male infant #circumcision. You're morally superior If you blow up #FGM, and by contrast, minimize male infant #circumcision.
Elle Palmer Ren Dissproportionately Crémieux #FGM is not a real problem that happens in the West. In contrast, male infant #circumcision happens 1.4 million times annually in the US. But of course if you "raise awareness" of what's going on in Africa, you don't have to be aware of what's right under your nose.
Elle Palmer Ren Dissproportionately Crémieux As I've said, you're not really doing anything special taking a stand against #FGM. There's no real virtue in preaching to the choir. You're not rocking any boats. Nor will you receive any backlash for it. It's opposing male infant #circumcision that takes real courage.
