You can't possibly even compare female genital mutilation with male circumcision.
FGM has nothing to do with religion, it's purely cultural and used to remove the sexual agency of young women in the most painful and barbaric way (and by the way it happens around the time when girls hit puberty). It goes hand in hand with female subordination to a patriarchy and to equate that to the argument against male circumcision which, I believe does none of the above, is just not right.
Though I'm not as opinionated in this matter as some of you, I'll have to side with the anti-circumcision brigade.
Afterall; your penis your choice, right?
