First of all, you are a male, with a penis. Who suffered male genital mutilation. Stop trying to colonize women’s issues. Second, you really can’t see how petty and childish and straight up ridiculous you are coming off by trying to change the focus onto your own issues? This is not a competition you know? The story…

I’m looking.

I can imagine her and I share that whole “unconditional love even though you hurt me” thing... She’s a sweet soul and probably wanted to see him through some difficult shit.

As someone who divorced a deeply troubled man, I stayed married for almost a year after we blew up while he took care of some shit, because both our therapists advised that it was too much for him to handle all at once. It sucked for me, but I had a lot more strength in me than he did... Add kids and celebrity to the…

I wish I was surprised that one of the first comments on a FGM article was about the damage done to penises, but I’m not.

No, a cis woman came in and sprayed her privilege all over this article and made it about how right she is to view FGM as being far worse than all other genital mutilation.

I’mthinking in the insufferable category you have us all beat in the terrible person category. So insufferable I wonder if you are an MRA troll.

Becausegod forbid CIA women be able to discuss issues about CIA women when that is the topic. Jesus, talk about a circle jerk.

Nah. You were a male when that happened. You saying it’s effectively FGM shows that you know it’s not.

No. I realize we are all limited to our lived experience, but your experience here is not analogous with what this doctor did or what people commonly refer to as FGM.

What the fuck? No. That is like saying if woman A slept with woman B who was trans but before she had transitioned in any way, or even publicly identified that way, then woman A has slept with a woman even though at that time woman B was biologically and publicly identifying as a man. Circumcision done to you as a…

You’re right, it shouldn’t be treated as a contest. Which is why when people chime in with “whataboutthis” on every single FGM article that ever existed, they should be righteously told the shut the fuck up and take a seat.

Circumcision doesn’t have anything to do with this. There is absolutely no reason why women can’t have a fucking conversation without being drowned out by men. I am so tired of it that I honestly don’t know what to do.

There’s nobody in Alaska smart enough to pull off any conspiracies like that.

Yes, it is. I desperately want to believe this is an accident and a personal tragedy to do with nobody else’s malice, but I truly can’t right now. I hope I’m wrong.

I want to call bullshit on no foul play

You’ve already won me over, in spite of me.

And is he thinking of her when he’s betting

It was a slap in the face.

Did you forget about me?
