yeah, Dark doesn't really bother me - mostly because I know he's just trying to stir shit. I am pretty mad at myself for letting hoops get to me last week though.

Mid, it's that people tend to not let others agree to disagree.Word. That's why Dark's strawman post pissed me off so much. We can disagree that the practices are comparable without him implying that I'm afraid to ever say anything bad happens to male children. It's not a fair leap to make. And why do you let Dark piss you off so much when you know he posts crap like that just to get a rise out of you. I don't believe Dark or anyone would do such a thing.

I wouldn't say it's common knowledge, which is why it's one of those things that I am quick to point out when people talk about how m/f circumcision are comparable practices (believe it or not, this is a fairly common argument). by people who have no idea what FGM is. Or by people who are trying to minimize the horror of the practice.

But you aren't some super liberal great parent because you do or don't. YES!!!!!!! Who said that? I scanned the last couple pages, but apparently missed that.

Well, if I've learned anything, it's that I have a much wider definition of the word "comparable" than some. And apparently I am a "shit-stirrer" for expressing my disagreement against what I see as an unnecessary and outdated practice.

I didn't say they were - I'm just explaining why I feel compelled to highlight the differences when people say that they are "comparable." A lot of times, statements like that come from ignorance about what FGM entails. But, there ARE people out there (no one on this thread) that know exactly what it entails and go to great lengths to act like it, and other practices that keep women "in their place," are not that big a deal. That is not okay with me.

It would depend on how aroused you get while shaking.

I'm astounded that we've made it as far as 62 pages, devolved into THIS topic, and the thread hasn't been locked yet. I don't know whether to be proud or worried.

I don't know whether to be proud or worried. b/c as usual, we're simply discussing in a civil and respectable manner a subject of civil and respectable ideas. We're very civil and respectable around here you know.
