What do you think about female genital mutilation?

According to WHO, female genital mutilation (FGM) is a traditional harmful practice that involves the partial or total removal of external female genitalia or other injury to female genital organs for non-medical reasons.

I find it barbaric. No one should have to go through it. It is done mainly for religious reasons and to lower female sex drive. It is dangerous and deprives these women of clitoral orgasms.

  • Any genital mutilation is horrible including male genital mutilation which really should never be referred to as circumcision because it's really mutilation.

    • Thanks for mh

  • Like circumcision that is done without consent, it is the result of ignorance and traditions that are long since outdated.

  • I think it's appalling and should be illegal (with an accompanying punishment that is severe).

  • I think the people that do this to females should be locked in a room and tortured for days. Those people are going to hell anyway, since that is kind of a sin interfering with a woman's ability to bring a baby into the world.

    Even if these loons just remove the clit and nothing else, there are still complications that can arise and cause internal damage.

    Maybe God will strike em down! Zap!

  • It's fucked up and an attempt to control women, without addressing the patriarchal issues. If men treated their women kindly, then there'd be no need for the women to be unfaithful.

    • Women, like men, are unfaithful. Often due to their own issues. Not everything is because of men.

    • In these areas, it's the men. Not everywhere. These areas.

    • No, it’s women too. Women just like to not be accountable.

  • Well of course it’s wrong but when you think how Americans cut baby boys it’s not really surprising to that other countries see cutting up genitals as a good idea too. Fucked up.

    • Horrible... Do they entirely cut their penises..

  • Fgm and mgm are both the same to me. They are both mutilation and need to stop. No one deserves their genitals to be cut in anyway. It's gross and barbaric

  • Male circumcision is barbaric too, but didn't you wanted to reduce your sexual desire? :)

  • Many men even in the country I live in would love for this to be an option. They would love this level of control over a woman.

    • Really? I’ve never heard that and it sounds horrible!

    • Yeah unfortunately there are some guys that don't like women having sexual freedoms

    • Sad. I didn’t know that happened in the US

  • barbaric, indeed

  • it's truly horrific. i couldn't imagine.

  • I have accepted the world is cruel and would only get worse a long time ago, do people just think I spread the word of God for no reason lol

    • and no my believes doesn't support this for the people that are asking themselves

  • Horrible

  • I generally come out against the practice... seems like a safe take.

  • No 8th amendment over there. You mutilate female genitals, you should get your genitals mutilated.

  • It is sick and barbaric.

  • According to that map its reserved for the countries that are still stuck in the middle ages and run by barbarians or radical religous clergy. Its like looking back in time 1,000 years.

    It's quite nauseating really.

  • Against it, it's rape at it's best!
    A female genitals is reserved only for the woman who have it and later to her husband...

  • Yeah that's does sound painful but those countries are very religious I just glad I live in the US and that not normally done. It kinda like taking a woman rights away to be sexually sastified and happy.

  • It's wrong... it should not be done... but those done in previous decades... now a days no country encourage this malpractices...

  • I remember about female genitalia mutilation years ago on NPR. It is shameful and not right to allow this mutilation. Seems like there needs to be an educational service done to those that perform this mutilation against these beautiful creatures from God. It is on right it's unethical it is even against the teachings of the Quran.

  • I think its all apart of the agenda
