> I now posit that you do so to undercut the horrifying abuse done to women. Why you choose to do that, I'll leave to the readers imagination.

Me calling male genital mutilation an amputation does not, in any way, venture any opinion on other types of mutilation.

In context of this discussion, it's classic Whataboutism, and it does implicitly offer an opinion that is heard loud and clear. Whenever we talk about FGM, there's always an army of men ready to Whatabout! the discussion to death.

I don't even think an imagination is required to understand why.
