husband might be a mysoginist

Okay, so let me start by saying, I love my husband. He's a great father to our baby girl. I've always loved his humor that's a little bit twisted, mine is too. We're both very 'off the cuff' type people. We're not very political but I kind of keep up to date on current events in the US. So, we just started watching The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu (it's amazing, and very much hits close to home these days) and tonight we watched an episode that briefly touched on female genital mutilation. He says, 'off the cuff', "oh, just like circumcision!" If looks could kill....😤 I said, hell no it's not. He says, yes it is, it's exactly the same (he's circumcised and not against it btw). I wanted to scream at him for this. I'm not the type to go to rallies or protests or what have you, but I'm definitely a strong woman who takes no shit from a man, who will teach my daughter to be strong and stand on her own. But this comment infuriated me! Instantly my mind goes to, well no wonder he doesn't help me around the house, no wonder he's so disrespectfully messy, I can't raise my daughter with a father who lacks so much respect for women. I am so mad about this! Tell me I'm being irrational 😂 I'm seriously SO turned off by him right now

It's the same as the head of his penis being cut off 🔪😇 Except for The clit has double the nerve endings the head of a penis does (8,000)Meaning, it's worseSooooo I'd say that. ❤

My husband says stupid shit too. I just turn to him and tell him to do some research so he doesn't sound like a moron to someone else 😂

I think it's pretty similar. Cutting off a piece of someone's genitalia which will ultimately lead them to feel less pleasure. Sure, it's probably safer done here in the US where male circumsion is far more common, but I think the idea is generally the same. Both are done for some cultural or religious reason. Clearly, I don't really support any kind of cutting of the genitals though. Everyone's got an opinion though! 🤷‍♀️

Perhaps in theory they're kind of similar, maybe more the hood of the clitoris and the foreskin in comparison, but the reasoning behind FGM is submissive and meant to suppress women
