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.

Foreskin protects the penis. It's not an appendix. I'm gonna agree, do what you want with it, but at the same time let's not enable laziness (I'm not calling you lazy. Puss boy however....)

I agree there. That's what it does. And if we were in the wild without 2 layers of pants, I'd say it was a lot more valuable. But I have multiple layers of fabric between my penis and the world around me all (well, most) of the time.

I respect your decision to drive carefully. But I want others to respect my decision for my penis to be able to wear it's seat belt.
