Exclusive: health professionals, survivors and politicians voice concerns in open letter over comments by Fatima Maada Bio, who denies supporting the practice
As the great president Selina Mayer once said, “don’t we in the US practice male circumcision on boys, who are as young as just tiny babies, so… glass houses.”
They are on a different scale by definitely comparable. Non consenting children are subjected to unnecessary medical procedure, often with adverse effects. You know that babies in US have died because mohels gave them herpes when sucking on circumcision wound? (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6122a2.htm). Yet it’s legal in US…
Yes, let’s intentionally break our glass house by throwing much deserved stones at something else. Once it’s broken, we’ll replace it with a house that isn’t made of glass and doesn’t tolerate the mutilation of children of either gender. This is not about assigning blame or deciding who’s right or wrong, and it’s disingenuous and distracting to try to compare them, maintain your focus on stopping the practices.

Both are bad. Why are you trying to change the subject to the US? You can make your own thread for that.
