RE: Elephant in the Room: Female Genital Mutilation is bad, so why is Male Circumcision OK?
You asked for open dialogue. I simply gave you that with a different perspective. Your response was defensive
I'm just stating my opinion as you did. Part of open dialogue is being honest.
I did not say there was anything wrong with you stating your opinion.
Stating the truth is not defensive it is simply reality. I'm sorry it offends you. Perhaps you should ask yourself why?
That is the problem with talking about anything that involves religion. It is impossible to talk without people taking personal offence. The problem is religious people like to play the victims all the time when in actual fact they are favoured by culture and the establishment.
That is why I'm glad I no longer have my opinions coloured by belonging to an organised cult.
No offense taken. I brought up religion because that's where circumcision started. What I was trying to state was it wasn't started from some half cocked idea. You took the religious context to another level. Just the facts. The key to any dialogue or debate is listening to the other side, whether we agree or not.
Well I'm sorry if it came across that way it was not my intent but I can see that it might come across that way.
Agreed.
Thanks for getting back to me:)
