female circumcision

[denelian]

so, whenever i bring this is, i am invariably fed a line along the notes of "we circumcise boys here, what's the difference"

first. BABIES. they don't remember. it happens right at birth.
second. function. show me the guy who can't orgasm because of circumcision.
third. infection. boys are circumcised AND TREATED. girls are circumcised and covered in ashed.

i could go on and on. no, i do not even think that male circumcision is right. but... male circumcision removes the forskin. female circumcision, GENERALLY, removes the clitoris. it's only supposed to remove the hood, a practise analgolous to male circumcision, but most of the time the ENTIRE clit is removed. often, the labia minor (inner lips) as well, and also often, the whole thing is then FUCKING SOWN SHUT SO THAT THERE IS FURTHER PROOF THE GIRL IS A VIRGIN AT MARRIAGE. sometimes the groom has to use a fucking KNIFE before he can have sex with his lucky bride.

it's horrible. it's cultural. it is NOT religious (Muhummad spoke AGAINST it in the Quo'ran!). it's barbaric. it's inexcusable.

this particular guy had an infection under his foreskin. at first i felt very bad for him, but talking to his sister taught me otherwise - he had had problems ever since he was supposed to start cleaning himself. he wouldn't, and things would build up under the foreskin and putrefy and... it was this horrible cycle, fixable if he would just pull back his foreskin and clean every day like he had been told too. it was very gross... and weird, i say he was "less than cleanly" but he BATHED everyday, so i don't know why he ignored this bit.
