This is a question Sexism

Freddie Woo tells us: Despite being a well rounded modern man I think women are best off getting married and having a few kids else they'll be absolutely miserable come middle age.

What views do you have that are probably sexist that you believe are true?

well... actually
Female circumcision is carried out in hospitals in some parts of the world, and male circumcision is carried out in 'unsanitary' conditions. The vast majority of both happen forcibly to minors.
What the original post is trying to do is make clear the parallels between the two practices, what the above post does is to say that although the two are different, they are relevantly similar in the way they might be objectionable.
So, yes you might well say that chopping off bits of girls genitals is in some ways worse, but both are bad in that they interfere with the integrity of someone's body and are carried out without consent. (I acknowledge that some men and some women voluntarily have their bits of their genitals chopped off)
