Female genital mutilation exposed in Swedish class

The practice involves one or more of several procedures, which vary according to the ethnic group. They include removal of all or part of the clitoris and clitoral hood; all or part of the clitoris and inner labia; and in its most severe form (infibulation) all or part of the inner and outer labia and the closure of the vagina. In this last procedure, which the WHO calls Type III FGM, a small hole is left for the passage of urine and menstrual blood, and the vagina is opened up for intercourse and childbirth. The health effects depend on the procedure but can include recurrent infections, chronic pain, cysts, an inability to get pregnant, complications during childbirth and fatal bleeding.

When traditional circumcisers are involved, non-sterile cutting devices are likely to be used, including knives, razors, scissors, cut glass, sharpened rocks and fingernails.

And why is this done?

Female genitals are regarded within communities that practise FGM as dirty and ugly... the preference is for women's genitalia to be "flat, rigid and dry".... to differentiate more clearly between the genders. There are also various myths about the clitoris: that it will keep on growing, will harm a baby if it comes into contact with the baby's head, and can make men impotent.... circumcisers rely to some extent on the practice for their living.... promotes female virginity and fidelity. Infibulation almost guarantees monogamy because of the pain associated with sex and the difficulty of opening an infibulation without being discovered.... uncircumcised women are seen as highly sexualized, in that the practice presupposes women to be "whorish and childish" ... curbing premarital sex... to reduce a woman's sexual desire so that her husband can more easily take several wives... to serve the interests of male sexuality.... hygiene, social acceptance, marriageability, preservation of virginity/reduction of female sexual desire, male sexual pleasure, and religious requirement. ... to enhance male sexual pleasure... men seem to enjoy the effort of penetrating their wife's infibulation.

Read the whole article to educate yourself on this procedure and its many horrible effects, and maybe you will realize the damned difference.

If you can't be bothered, imagine this... having your entire penis cut off and the urethra sewn up so you can pee through only a tiny hole. Then having that hole ripped open for sex (with no orgasm for you!) or childbirth. Then having it sewn up again! Oh, and all this may or MAY NOT be done with anesthetic. And of course, imagine dealing with all the infections and medical conditions that arise from these operations. If you can.
