In reply to the discussion: FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION—THE NUMBERS KEEP RISING [View all]Coventina
(29,936 posts)66. For those who might not want to give such horrific sites traffic:
The secretions of the labia minora accumulate in uncircumcised women and turn rancid, so they develop an unpleasant odour which may lead to infections of the vagina or urethra. I have seen many cases of sickness caused by the lack of circumcision. absolutely bogus. Billions of uncircumcised women live their lives without this happening.
Circumcision reduces excessive sensitivity of the clitoris which may cause it to increase in size to 3 centimeters when aroused, which is very annoying to the husband, especially at the time of intercourse. Another bogus claim. And, if a man can't be happy that he is pleasuring his wife, he doesn't deserve the title of "man."
Another benefit of circumcision is that it prevents stimulation of the clitoris which makes it grow large in such a manner that it causes pain. Never happens. Never. Bullshit claim.
Circumcision prevents spasms of the clitoris which are a kind of inflammation. In other words, prevents orgasm in women
Circumcision reduces excessive sexual desire. In other words, keeps a woman from being a complete creature, as nature intended.
As I said: Horrific. Anyone who subscribes to such disgusting thought does not belong in the 21st century.

My understanding of the issue is that frequently family members do it. Simply horrific.

I think there's a pretty big difference between a choice made by a consenting adult about themselves

True, and it's astounding how "choice" gets blamed for fundamentalist authoritarian fuckwittery.

I'll never forget the time a DU member defended the "right" of US parents to have FGM done to babies

I don't know. The IHOP thing was a spectacular spasm of authoritarian nanny statism.

Sounds like some of the other food-related nuttery DU has experienced from time to time.
