I don’t think you read behind my graphic detail spoiler, or you just claimed the equivalent of kissing you without your consent was just as bad as raping you, because they key point is consent. Incorrect. It is you who have missed the point. Kissing people without consent is not in any sense ok, but also trying to make out that my great aunt is a rapist because I never wanted the kisses trivialises rape and is not ok.
For what I’m saying how bad the thing is doesn’t matter, I do agree that FGM does more harm but the lack of consent is the real problem (eliminating the consent problem eliminates the entire problem, eliminating the harm problem does not solve the consent problem). I am not saying that FGM and circumcision are equally bad I am just saying that the root of the problem is the same in both cases.
