(2,749 posts)These are the daughters of immigrants from predominately Muslim, Middle Eastern or African countries who have gone back to the parent's country of origin and forced to undergo this horrific mutilation. The parents should go to prison and have their parental rights terminated on a permanent basis for every daughter they have. And none of the daughter's should be placed with an immigrant family who could end up doing the same thing to the younger ones. And I promise this isn't just the men; the mothers want it too, because it had been done to them and they believe this is required to preserve family honor so a girl doesn't go out and have sex with every man she brushes up against. They don't trust their daughters, but I guess the sons get to keep their penises because it's ok if the boy has sex outside marriage, it would seem. This a hard story for me to read, mostly because the trauma to the girls is so extreme, and because it's just so barbaric. And irreversible. You can't replace a female clitoris. Maybe they can perform some kind of reconstructive surgery to alleviate any health problems they will have later in life, but any physical pleasure they might have gotten from making love is gone forever.
