circumcision is still genital mutilation. and if done to kids against their decision should be perfectly comparable.

unless in the case of double standards or not knowing about circumcision being detrimental
There is actual harmful male genital mutilation in some cultures (eg skinning of the member ,or cutting it in half ,often in the form of initiation rites) but we don't talk about these because it would expose the popular narrative as a biased lie. The popular narrative being that female genital mutilation is always worse than male, which further invisibilizes violence against men and boys.
Circumcision is sometimes done for medical reasons even. The other forms of mutilation (neither male nor female) are not.

there being worse forms of mutilation doesnt change that circumcision is also genital mutilation and harmful lmfao. whataboutism much

and obviously im not talking about the cases where there is medical indication for the procedure, such as phimosis.
