No! No Genital Mutilation in This Country.

by Little Miss Attila on May 14, 2010

And if someone brings up male circumcision in this context, I’m going to go ballistic. There are no extra folds of skin in the female genitalia. One can argue circumcision either way, but it is not comparable to female genital mutilation: all we have down there are unholy numbers of nerve endings packed into nearly no space.

Female genital mutilation is unhumane, period.

All they’re saying is that little brown and black girls aren’t entitled to the same protection, or to be full citizens, even. Urgh.

I would like to be shocked that the far left can’t even defend this most basic of womens’ rights, but I’m not.
They went bankrupt so long ago nothing surprises me about the left anymore.

Anyway.. it depends on the doctor doing the nick too. Not everyone can find the man in the boat.
