First off, it ain't female genital MUTILATION. It is female circumcision. If you start calling female circumcision that, then I'll have every right to call male circumcision male genital mutilation. I suppose since I see both as absolutely abhorent (not to be confused with, "anyone who does this is stupid", but rather I would not consider it for me or my children), I ain't busy favouring one over the other.

All this double standard shit comes from some shitty multiculturalism. In tribes, the women do the female circumcision. Men aren't forcing it on the women so bye-bye 'sexism' or degradation of women (and the males in tribes may be circumcised as a rite of passage). Some female circumcisions are done at birth or a very young age and same with the male ones. Perhaps out of all of this comes the idea that AFRICA IS NOT A SINGULAR CULTURE. There are varying forms of female circumcision (total removal of external genital structures and the sewing shut of the vagina to removal of one external structure such as the clitoris). Also, I think it was the Nigerian government that tried to ban fat houses and female circumcision and utterly failed plus made the process more dangerous as it went underground.

Should we intervene? No. All intervening does is send over a bunch of fucking evangelical Christians to Nigeria so they can gain money off the witch-hunts of children. Get your nose out of other peoples' cultures because more often than not, nobody has any idea what the fuck is going on.
