Is it normal that i believe these procedures should be outlawed?

Circumcision and Female Genital Mutilation (or FGM for short). These "procedures" are horrible and they should be downright outlawed on a global scale. For those who don't know what these are, allow me to explain. MC (Male Circumcision) and FGM are procedures where a doctor or person takes a tool (scapel, knife, etc) and cuts bits off a man's penis or a woman's vagina. MC is often done on non-consenting, baby boys who can't do anything but cry. As for FGM, it's often performed on young girls before they hit puberty as to "obtain abstinence and ensure they stay loyal to their man". Both procedures cause nothing but pain and grief for the young boy or girl. All those "Benefits" to getting circumcised are nothing but BALD-FACED LIES to justify the harm of children. If they want to be circumcised, LET THEM CHOOSE ONCE THEY REACH ADULTHOOD. STOP CUTTING OUR CHILDREN AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING THEM FOR LIFE. FUCK THE CUSTOMS/CULTURES THAT DEMAND OF THESE ATROCITIES! Fuck them and REFORM THEM. REWRITE, so to speak. Both boys and girls are born with genitalia and there's nothing wrong with a boy's foreskin or a girl's clitoris and as long as we teach children to properly clean themselves, there should be no reason to MUTILATE them. We should do everything in our power to get these practices stopped and outlawed everywhere. Enough is enough.

    My rule about this is simple: Don't cut body parts off people without their permission.

    But if somebody who is old enough to rationally discuss and and consider the consequences wants to have an elective amputation, I'm not gonna stand in their way.

        Hmmm, no, I can probably make an exception on that one. It's a special case since it falls off anyway.

    I think everyone can agree with female. As for males there are benefits such as lowering risks of STDs and better hygiene. Males are also done for religious reasons. Female is just a dick move.

      'Better hygiene' that's a myth.

      Fact: sex feels better when you've got a turtle neck.

          Trust me it's not hard to clean, if your getting infections down there you must be a filthy hobbo in which case you would probably be getting infections on other parts of your body as well.

            I don't have that issue. Circumcision is the norm in the US.

        If that is truly a fact it would stand to reason that turtlenecks are more prone to premature ejaculation.

    As someone who has been circumcised, I can say with confidence that it has not ruined my life, I don't remember the procedure, I do not hold it against my parents, and the hygienic benefits are worth it. It should be up to the parents to decide.

    They should be illegal, I agree with you. I think it's rather disgusting.

    Boy am I glad that you are not in charge. You may do as you please with your children, but don't go telling me how I should follow your beliefs.
    That's why it isn't a legal thing; personal choice, for Circumcision, anyway. I've never met anybody that had Female Genital Mutilation, that I know of, and I'm guessing it's rare enough to not be much of an issue for most.

      It's a custom in certain countries, I forget which ones. Removes the clitorus and prevents females from having orgasms, so I've heard.

        Well, I guess in some countries they wouldn't want their beasts of burden getting all randy, would they?
