Why is it not okay to mutilate female children but its okay to mutilate male children? Let me guess, our ridiculous religions says its okay to mutilate male children.
Why the double standard?

The REASON is the answer. For men, it's mostly for the cleanliness but for women, it's to remove sexual pleasure. See the difference? You can start a movement against make genial mutilation tho.

I am in full support of FGM because i believe that it is the right remedy to curb the excessive level of promiscuity among our girls/women these days. Support FGM if u want a saner black society
And men?

Lol, i didnt see that thread in the past, anyway, it was a guess, and i did simple analysis to arrive at that guess,

1.) I observed you are the type that adhere strictly to the Sunnah of the prophet

2.) The sunnah restricts women to some jobs of which nursing is one of them.

3.) I observed you are scientifically oriented, so you are most likely to be in field of medicine or nursing.

And thats it! grin.......

If all these came from The Western world then I'm gonna throw it into dustbin... Those people wey no get sense again. Everything that we use to know are right they have successfully argued it to be wrong to some dumb... America wey talk say Man and Man can get married dey can't tell me anything and I will believe. Anytime I think about there gay law I understand that those people are devilsh by default. With this present world that 2hrs movie, you go see like 4 sexual scenes, how will d coming generation survive all that. Masturbation, female deriving sexual pleasures from artificial objects and we will ask ourself where did we get it wrong.. Na so e dey start... I was circumcised, my kids will do. Let everybody do whatever Rick their both. Of cos we know what d end will be. I can't even remember d pain I when my mama do am for me and I am grateful she did. No pain No gain....

Its a common misconception.... Both are for the same reason because an unmutilated man as a higher sexual hurge and experience than the mutilated.

calm down! nobody here caused your woe... I Dont understand your grieve.
you can as well mutilate your daughters for all you care.
however, majority, I mean majority of people will forever frown at the act.. you just dropped very stupid premise, because our grandmothers went through it, make everyone undergo the same treatment? dear, you were just unfortunate.
how would you know it affected our grand mothers, are you an ancestor? abi our grand and great grand mothers' ghosts show for your dreams to narrate their ordeal to you..
you experience orgasm sometimes, probably a lie or you Dont know what orgasm is, but I wanna experience it most times... wink and will continue to frown at this act!!
hehehehe, Even the ones here have their daughters circumcised, and were circumcised too,don't be fooled, and for the record I have no woe, and I don't need to invoke the spirit of my grandmother because they are both still alive both paternal and maternal, I bet your mother too was circumcised,and even your sisters too,if you see circumcised ladies as having woes then same applies to the famales in your family, next time be constructive, and yes I intend to circumcise my daughters, because I was circumcised and it didn't affect my sexual life,now do you also want me to describe how orgasm feels like?

There is no valid health benefit of sexuallymutilating a boy. Stop listening to your religious leaders and listen to actual health professionals.
The only health benefits of male circumcision is equal to the health benefits of not keeping a beard.

Do you work in the healthcare profession? Because I do. FGM And male circumcision do not have the same dangers and risks for adverse reactions. In males it is a skin flap that is removed though painful because there are nerve endings there. Previously done in the past for religious and hygienic purposes.

I live in north America and the majority of health professionals do not support male circumcision unless it is done for a religious purpose as is outlined in the Bible, Koran and Torah. There is no passage that supports FGM that I know of and is very harmful to the female.

It's not the same procedure for both genders like you think. And most men become circumcised as infanys, though in south Africa it's a rite of passage that traditionally occurs at the onset of puberty.

In regards to your stance on tradition, once an act no longer serves the people or positively advances them it must be done away with. Traditions and cultures is cultivated by people and can be done away with as well.

I believe it should be the choice of the individual of they want to be circumcised. They should wait until the child is of age to decide, more specific to males.


so their religious injunctions super-cedes ours? I'm sure the west will be cool with it if it was a jewish practice.... same way it is done at infancy for men is the same way it's done at infancy too for some girls... All I'm saying is that enough of the double standard, if you condemn female circumcision, condemn male circumcision as well. Rather than criminalise it, you could work towards setting and improving the standards to reduce associated risk, which funny enough exists in the two practices
Re: Female Genital Mutilation: What You Need To Know As A Nigerian by Afrokan(m): 7:23pm On Jul 25, 2016
Let me guess... You read an article about how a circumcised dick looks cleaner and nice? And how its less likely for circumcised men to contact STDs?
If you are not dirty and lack the intelligence to use a condom why should you fear your own foreskin?
Seriously, that a enough reason to mutilate young boys?
There is no medical benefit of circumcision apart from reduced sexual pleasure

I'm going to post some really nasty but educative pictures so we can all understand how dangerous the widely accepted male circumcision can be, in both african and western settings.

Also good to state that male circumcision can also be fatal

U don't get it, do you?
The reason female genital mutilation is discouraged is because of its adverse effect on the health of circumsize women. Its leads to difficulty during sex, pregnancy and childbirth and it can even make a woman sterile. I'm sure if male circumsision alsobhave effect on men sexual life or virility it will be discouraged too. But since male circumsision have no effect on men health its encouraged. Infact male circumsision is actually beneficial.

Female genital mutilation should be discouraged. We shouldn't put our future astake.

neither can a mutilated person know what 'complete' women feel ... so why not just keep your fvcktard to yourself while we help people avoid your misery, you can share your experience when it is needed..maybe create your own thread on why you feel fgm is good 'because you still enjoy sex'.. but this thread is to teach the dangers..
if you had the opportunity many of us had, you would have understood better..

so you still enjoy the sex your mum try to take from you? you must be a miracle child.. anyways, why would you want to circumcise your kids? taking your case as an eg, even after the mutilation you still enjoyed sex, so what's the essence..of putting your kids through the agony of mutilation when they can still enjoy the good sexxx you wanna steal from them..or even worse, they might not have your 'miracle' and unfortunately won't enjoy sexxx.. have you thought of this
why would you wanna do such stupid things on innocent children..
anyways, your life, your kids.. now people who frown at it are talking because its bad, maybe their grand mums did it or not doesn't matter, what natters is people know how barbaric and evil it is and are shunning it.... I'm pretty sure if reverse as been the case, and sexxc was nothing to enjoy, your lament on this thread would have been diff.. thats if truly you enjoy sexx as you say... so Dont come up here to say unreasonable things!!

ciaos madam, tell your grand mum you still enjoy sex after all.. she failed!!!

Oga, i have gone through most of your comments. You seem to be hell bent on circumcising the female child.

I don't think there is any need for further argument, you can see the disadvantages listed above and how it outweighs the advantages.

Religion supports the circumcision of male children but it's silent on the issue of the female child. You can check the Bible and Quran. The practice is ideal for males and it also has medical benefits.

And what you do not know is that most married men whose wife were circumcised never enjoy their wives. Because she always lacks interest in the act and turns her husband down each time. Therefore forcing the man to look for alternatives outside.

We are all aware of the number of broken marriages the issue of sex has caused.

Really? Maybe yours wasn't grossly done. It depends on the person who does it. Some will still leave some sensitive areas (i guess this is your case) while Some will cut off everything completely. And the area will become numb.

Such a woman can never enjoy sex infact the act will be painful, and she won't always allow her husband.

to answer your questions

1)circumstances like stress, movies(sex scenes) and availability of a d!ck affect my urge for sex

2)some positions like riding ontop increases my chance of having an orgasm, so I know what works for me

3) it depends on factors like how horney I was before sex,,fore play and the the guy in question, because I never reached orgasm until I met my their boyfriend, let's just say he knew my soft spots

4)every woman has her soft spot, I know that even if I am not in the mood,my boyfriend always knew how to turn me on

5)I would rate mine 7

female circumcision has existed even before the white men dreamt of making voyage to Africa, so it's not about white men, and I would prefer my husband marry another wife than to be fvcking another man, white people are loosing their morality and sanity that I have to take a second and triple look at anything they say,so as far as this matter is concerned I was circumcised as a baby and I can comment on its effects from experience, instead of mere speculation and hear say from people like you, since you were not circumcised, all your points are mere speculation
