Female genital mutilation procedure 'hurted a lot,' child says

[Vesper]

66. I did some research, which is why I'm making the argument that genital mutilation is barbaric.

You guys are literally arguing that as long as orgasms are possible that it's not always so.

I'm not suggesting that FGM is somehow good, I'm arguing that ALL genital mutilation for non medical reasons is horrible.

The Johns Hopkins educated doctor in a clinic in Livonia is did not follow that extreme procedure you describe, more than likely, since she wasn't in village somewhere and a local elder or whomever performs these atrocities usually. So the comparison you're making is invalid.

I'm suggesting that any and all mutilation, regardless of sexual function, regardless of age is wrong.

This is literally an article about it being done in a medical setting, by a qualified doctor, and which is most likely not done in the manner you describe, and it's still horrific.

Thank you for not jumping onto that culturally biased bandwagon, but the comparison is valid and the denial is ignorant, given the facts in this case. In the true sense of the word, READ THE ARTICLE and educate yourself.

It doesn't matter how genital mutilation is carried out, it is an abhorrent practice, regardless of sexual function retained, gender or age. Please educate yourself.
