147. The reason you're being attacked

Is because when the point was repeatedly brought up to you that FGM makes pleasurable sex impossible for a woman, in order to "keep them in line" so they can live as livestock, you dismissed that as "emotional garbage".

Cultures where men are entitled to having jobs, having power, owning property, and yes, having PLEASURABLE SEX, *but* they keep the women in line by denying women the ability to pursue any of those aforementioned things, represents EVERYTHING that we stand against!

It represents the ideology that women are to stay in the kitchen, put her husband's and childrens' welfare over her own, never have any joy or accomplishments that are ever her own, just exists to be a vessel of the man's legacy. Exists to be his property.

Of course, you must prevent her from enjoying sex. Because then there's the risk she may leave her husband for someone better!

We mustn't have that! Society would collaspe!

Sure men do that all of the time, but these are WOMEN we're talking about here! They must stay in their place!

A woman who can enjoy sex AND go to any school she wants, have any job she wants, is a LIBERATED WOMAN.

It means she is an "equal".

This is fucking DEMOCRATIC Underground, not an MRA forum, and you're undermining that with a false equivalency.

As for my personal opinion on removal of foreskin, I don't have one, as I'm not a man, and don't have (nor want) any children.

But YES, if one form of mutiliation ruins someone's life, and takes a natural pleasurable experience away from them that they will NEVER GET BACK, there is no comparison.
