In reply to the discussion: Female genital mutilation procedure 'hurted a lot,' child says [View all]Vesper
(229 posts)I'd like to point out to you that THIS act of genital mutilation was ALSO done by a Johns Hopkins educated doctor in a clinical setting.
The reason it's done in secret here is that there is no tradition of mutilating 7 year olds here in the genitals, it's been normalized as a procedure in the hospital when little boys are infants.
I know why they're doing it, but I'm making factual comparisons, while you guys are yammering on foolishly about how if the child can still orgasm, and it's done in a HOSPITAL and not IN SECRET, that mutilating a child's genitals is okay.
You might want to go learn about this MEDICAL reason you claim exists, so that you can learn what your bias is.
Your denial of basic facts and defense of mutilation because it's done in a hospital setting is beyond foolish, it's just wrong.
The problem with bias is that when you're suffering from it, you don't realize it, and you're afflicted. These are religious and cultural rituals and family traditions, there is no medical reasons for mutilating children's genitals. PERIOD, I don't care who is doing it, where it's being done or why, the act of cutting off genital tissue is barbaric PERIOD.
