How is circumcision not genital mutilation?

[u/Peremiah → u/douchecanoetwenty2]

That’s like comparing clipping your fingernails to cutting off your fingers

[u/TheIllustriousWe → u/Peremiah]

Accurate. Cutting off the tip of your penis doesn’t hurt at all, and it also grows back eventually.

[u/Peremiah → u/TheIllustriousWe]

Lol, well I’m not gonna say clipping my nails has never hurt, but yeah your nails do grow back. My main reasoning is that your finger is still there and can perform all of its functions when you clip the nail. Removing skin from your penis still allows it to perform its functions. Although I’m saying this from the perspective of someone who isn’t chopped so I guess I can’t speak from experience ☠️

[u/TheIllustriousWe → u/Peremiah]

So it’s more like cutting off the tip of your finger, versus cutting it off entirely.

I can see why you’d think just cutting off the tip isn’t nearly as bad, but still seems kinda messed up to do to a literal infant who can’t consent.

[u/Peremiah → u/TheIllustriousWe]

Um, no. Cutting off the tip of your finger would be like cutting off the tip of your penis, not just removing some skin.

Also, when did I ever say that I was for or against circumcision? I’m just pointing out the level that this comparison is not proportional at all.
