Hmm, since prepuce (foreskin) is a hairless, highly-sensitive cutaneous fold covering and protecting the glans, why is it okay to remove one, but not the other? Or, since they derive from the same zygotic tissue and are homologous, why is it not okay to excise the clitoral hood?
I keep asking these questions, and nobody ever has a good answer, and the only difference that I can divine is that one is okay because it's done to boys.
I don't think it is good, but idk if it should be banned. A lot of guys seem ok with it?
If it should be banned, there needs to be a public education push about why.
Guys are okay with what? Removing foreskin, or removing the clitoral hood?
Neither. OK with the fact that their own foreskin was removed. I'm not one of them.
