Go back to England you redcoat son of a bitch.

I like Hollywood...but Mary Berry or GTFO.

Why is Marilyn Manson in the top pic? Anyone?

This low-key hurts my heart. It’s a shame, because I LOVE Sandi Toksvig, and I’ve traditionally enjoyed Noel Fielding on QI, but this just feels so wrong. I think it’s because of the two original judges, Mary Berry is the more essential. She’s the icon.

Article: FGM is bad.

This. Isn’t. About. You.

Literally nobody here is disagreeing with the point that circumcising babies’ penises is problematic at best, since babies are incapable of giving consent. What people are disagreeing with is your insistence that there is no difference between circumcising a penis and “FGM,” a term that includes clitoridectomy, not…

You don’t agree that men often swamp discussions of FGM with their concerns about MGM, drowning out the women’s voices trying to discuss FGM? I’m just a casual reader and I’ve seen that at least a few times now. It’s really infuriating, and it happens on both liberal and conservatives sites.

Have you been a boor your entire life too?

Honestly, you just read as thirsty for validation. You’re asserting something that is at best highly debatable (“The foreskin on my penis was removed when I was a child but because I identify as female that makes me a victim of FGM”) just so you can accuse people who disagree of denying your womanhood and call them…

It’s implematic of how disregarded women are that we can’t even discuss an article about CIS female gender mutilation without, but, ... but, the PENIS.

Look at you assuming who is cis! Be against circumcision by all means but it is not the same as removing the clitoris to prevent sexual pleasure. To be comparable it would mean removing the penis or testes in boys so they don’t become big old sluts when they grow up. /s

As another trans woman who was circumcised at birth and not thrilled that it still goes on, you really need to cut this bullshit out. Even if you sincerely believe that a circumcision is comparable to a clitoredectomy (lol) I can guarantee you that all you’re doing right now is pissing off would-be allies and giving…

You brought up penile circumcision on an FGM post in the first place. You did the exact same thing that MRAs do. I realize you did it for entirely different reasons — as I wrote, your experience is important and valid — but it is NOT this. You are a woman who experienced penile circumcision and that is not what is…

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.

Nowhere did this article even bring up circumcision. Why is it so hard to stay on topic when it’s about an atrocity that’s done to women’s sexual organs? Why is it always, “We must discuss the penis first!”

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…

The year before this happened, my dad asked me what would happen if a ball went of a guys head and over the fence. I told him that would never happen. Then fucking Canseco. A week later, my dad - in Russia no less! - called to ask if I had seen the play.

Maybe some Ivy-assisted computer programmers will help make these damn MLB videos start working at some point during this season.
