Why do the bad guys always win
-
Because bad guys show up for every election, and the good guys, which are the majority, don't.
-
Because we keep rewarding them :(
-
Because humans are bad.

Imagine thinking you have the right to mutilate other genitals. Fuck religion. Why is god so obsessed with everyone’s junk anyway?

Religion is a cancer.
Yep. It's the exact same reason why boys will always be subjected to genital mutilation in the US without scrutiny.
Could you imagine how Jews would react if it were illegal?
Thing is, in the US circumcision is done by far more people than just practicing Jews. It's somehow been embedded into their standard societal practices.
Antisemitism! /s
Female genital mutilation is not a part of Islam.
Male genital mutilation, however, is. (Just like Judaism)
I thought the Quran made no mention of FGM, and that the practice was discouraged (or outright forbidden) by Islamic fatwas / religious scholars.
