Either way though it's a stupid practice, and yeah I think there belief is stupid. They can do what they want I guess, but doesn't keep it from being stupid. Implants are also stupid. Took some growing up on my part to cut through the bullshit and realize that one though.

KB we are talking about having their sexual organs cut off with unsterile instruments, no anaesthesia or anasthetic. Completely cutting off a woman's clit is cruel, period. There was a story that I read where they sewed a young girl's vagina so tightly that when she started menstruating, menstrual fluids could not be expelled for several months. Her lower abdomen distended. Her ignorant parents thought that she was pregnant, so they beat the little girl to death. I don't care how open minded you are, you can't possibly think that cutting these girls up is acceptable. Female genital mutilation has to come to an end.KillahBee said:

But what I find interesting is that in these countries, it always seems it's the women who have to adjust/change in order to prevent sexual abuse/molestation, etc......It's the women who have to have their bodies completely covered or disfigured (breast ironing, genital mutilation, etc) to prevent the men from finding them attractive as opposed to say, removing 1 testicle with a sharp piece of glass at the age of 8 or 9 yo so they won't be as sexually inclined......

Yes, HidnGod, it is almost always done by the family. In some cultures the mom does it herself. In others, they take them out and there may be a whole bunch of girls and they will use the same knife to go from one girl to the next without sterilization. I am talking about FMG here, but it is analogous to breast ironing.HiDnGoD said:
Thank goodness the practice of foot binding stopped. Many girls were left where they were permanently crippled.
I did a very extensive paper on the practice of female genital mutilation when I was in law school. In my opinion, the practice should be considered a human rights violation under the Geneva convention.
I feel very strongly about this topic.
Men, imagine having your penis removed against your will with a dirty knife because someone thought you should not receive pleasure from sex.

HR, the sad part is that tragedy like this will never end (it's definitely not normal to mutilate someone's natural biology and alter their natural biological functions). It would be nice to think that it could if we all worked together and did something about it, but in the end it's idealistic thinking. I do understand KB's basis of thought on some path here though. Anyways how much resources/effort are we, the world's babysitter, willing to spend to change other people's beliefs? That seems to be a popular theme these days.
