It legit pisses me off that feminists ignore the fact that circumcision happens all over the world in places where FGM happens too and it’s no cleaner nor humane when it’s getting done there too.

Any form of genital mutilation is bad and morally wrong and it happens to both genders whether it’s in a hospital or an unsanitary place. Stop acting like it’s a gendered issue. Stop elevating one gender over the other. Stop ignoring the pain and suffering boys are forced to go through just because you don’t care at all or you just care more about girls – that’s absolutely disgusting.

Enough is enough. Help end all genital mutilation.

For the record most feminists are against circumcision. With this post, you are scolding a women’s movement for not solving men’s problems. Mother’s aren’t holding down their 10 year old sons and cutting off their glans as with FGM. Fathers are asking male doctors and male religious leaders to cut the foreskin of their infant sons to please their god or so that their penis will look aesthetic. Yes, it’s bad but women are not responsible for causing it, and women aren’t responsible for fixing it. Please address your concerns to the MRAs or the many patriarchal religions that practice circumcision. 

For the record, no they most certainly are not. I’m not even scolding feminists for not solving men’s problems at all, although many feminists claim that’s exactly what they’re doing for the sake of equality even as they actively hurt men. What this post is actually doing is calling out the ignorance and double standards that many feminists have on this matter. You literally are downplaying it here once again as you ignore how it happens in countries where FGM happens too.

Here’s an example. This isn’t any different from FGM and if you honestly think it is, you’re a sick individual and sexist as all hell.

Oh and MRAs are already working on issues like this! And for that matter, despite this not being the reason behind this post, many women are responsible for causing it! I have heard many women say they think intact penises are unattractive. I’ve heard many mothers say they’re going to get their sons cut because they find it more attractive. I’ve heard many women parrot the same old, disproved medical myths about circumcision, et cetera and so forth.

Thanks for all that anecdotal information about what you hear tell on your block. The mayo clinic recommends male circumision in the case of repeated infection. The mayo clinic does not recommend female circumcision under any circumstances. Perhaps you should send them an email about their outdated science?

Women aren’t ignoring anything, this is literally not our fight and we don’t have mention, think about, or pay lip service to men and their problems. Feminists can actually acknowledge something is bad without shouldering the responsibility to fix it.

In fact, the man in the notes who experienced it himself told you it wasn’t a big deal so I wonder why as a female this is the hill you wanna die on? Shouldn’t we be listening to the actual “victims” of this horrible crime?

Anyway, please print off your post and nail it to the door of the closest temple, church or hospital if you’re really about this life. Some men actually circumcise little boys for a living so unless you’re talking to them, you’re wasting your time. Godspeed, you dick crusader.

“Godspeed, you dick crusader.”

People Who Oppose Trans Rights Have No Place In Labour, Says The First LGBT Mayoral Adviser

layingdownsomebatfeets:

Man (useless centrist in this case) talks over women part 478563487531.

Found this particularly illuminating: “He will also be campaigning for greater access to PrEP, the HIV prevention medication, which in England and Wales is currently only being given to a trial group of 12,000 people, rather than a full roll-out. “People said, ‘Why should we fund it?’ But you fund the [contraceptive] pill.”

Do people who oppose women’s rights or are in favour is trans ‘rights’ over women’s rights have a place in Labour?

This is an obvious way to exile dissenting women from their ranks and anyone else who disagrees with the trans movement.

lesbian: i don’t like dick

some idiot white leftist: hm. this really reminds me of the process by which imperialist nations economically exploit other countries, erase their cultures, force them to assimilate, and enact violence on their people. there’s actually like, no difference between the two.

The book that fights sexism with science

writing-while-female:

When young men and women come up against sexist stereotypes masquerading as science, Angela Saini wants them to be armed with the facts. “I call my book ammunition,” she says of her 288-page prize-winning work Inferior: The True Power of Women and the Science that Shows It. “There are people out there who insist that somehow the inequalities we see in society are not just because of historic discrimination, but also because of biology – the idea that there are factors within us that will cause men or women to be better at some things than others.”

She wrote Inferior to demonstrate that “actually, science doesn’t support that point of view. I think it’s important we understand these scientific facts. We need that ammunition to counter the weird mistruths that are circulating within and outside science about sex difference”.

To female scientists fed up with being treated as though their brains are the odd exceptions among their sex, Inferior is more than just a book. It’s a battle cry – and right now, it is having a galvanising effect on its core fanbase. On 31 July a crowdfunding campaign to send a copy of Inferior to every mixed secondary school in England with more than 1,000 pupils was launched by Dr Jessica Wade, a British physicist who writes 270 Wikipedia pages a year to raise the profile of female scientists. Within two days the campaign had raised £2,000. Yesterday it reached its original £15,000 target and was powering its way towards £20,000 – a figure which would allow the book to be sent to every state school in the country.

“There’s nothing you want more than for people to be inspired by your work,” says Saini, 37, a multiple award-winning science journalist, who first became intrigued by sex difference research when she wrote about the menopause for the Observer. “What Jess is doing means such a lot to me. I hope if my book can empower her, it can empower other young women, and men, too.”

The key message she hopes her readers will take away is that nothing in science suggests equality is not possible. “We are not as different as the inequalities in our society makes us believe we are. Even now, there are people saying we shouldn’t be pushing for gender equality because we’re never going to see it for biological reasons.” For example, many people think there are large psychological differences in spatial awareness, mathematical reasoning or verbal skills between men and women. “Actually, those differences are tiny, a fraction of a standard deviation,” says Saini. “Psychologically, the differences between the sexes are not enough to account for the inequalities we see in our society today.”
