In reply to the discussion: Russian mufti calls for genital mutilation of all women [View all]Hekate

I utterly oppose all forms of this hideous practice, and I appreciate the graphic VERBAL reminders of what it is. I've done a fair bit of that myself. But LINKS are sufficient in case anyone wants to actually see it.
Any moment now someone is going to show up peddling the false equivalency between FGM and male circumcision. Nothing will ever convince them, not even photographs, but they will hijack this and every other thread they can. They need a verbal slap-down, though.
I appreciate that you are fighting the good fight against misogyny and ignorance, but pics would be beyond the bounds of even a warning in the OP subject line, imo.
