Male circumcision is male genital mutilation (‘MGM’)

By 2 Comments

Female circumcision – ‘female genital mutilation’, or ‘FGM’, as feminists invariably term it – is illegal in the UK, and across most of the developed world, which the vast majority of people, including everyone at J4MB, agree is ‘a good thing’. So why isn’t male genital mutilation (‘MGM’) also illegal? Wouldn’t that also be ‘a good thing’? A short but illuminating article on the subject:

In the Jewish community, at least, voices of reason are starting to oppose MGM:

An academic paper, published in 2007, on the impact of MGM:

130726 paper on male circumcision

The paper’s Conclusions:

The glans of the circumcised penis is less sensitive to fine touch than the glans of the uncircumcised penis. The transitional region from the external to the internal prepuce is the most sensitive region of the uncircumcised penis and more sensitive than the most sensitive region of the circumcised penis. Circumcision ablates the most sensitive parts of the penis.

This poses an obvious question – should we add MGM to our public consultation document? Email me at mb1957@hotmail.co.uk with your thoughts. Thank you.

If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

    I really don’t see why this is so hard for people to understand

    Unfortunately, lots of people are unaware of MGM because feminism has completely overshadowed men’s issues. It’s time to raise awareness of MGM, make a noise and alter the levels of acceptability such that this atrocious, barbaric act of abuse is stopped in its tracks. Only legitimate cases based on sound medical reasons should be permitted.

    I remember seeing a programme on TV a few years ago where they showed in close-up graphical detail young boys of a tribe getting circumcised without anaesthetic. They broadcast the programme far earlier than they should, but the worst part was how they covertly conveyed a subliminal-like message that these boys were somehow seen as brave and courageous heroes – the makings of real men! – take note you western guys, apparently you need to get yourself circumcised in public (without anaesthetic) if you want to be seen as a real man !!

    Call me cynical but it’s all part of the manipulative, feminised media onslaught against men. How they could make this out to be positive is beyond me! Somehow I can’t imagine a role reversal whereby FGM is shown in full close-up detail, accompanied by positive tones of acceptance!
