Stop mutilating girls and women's genitals!

E-mail Print PDF

female genital mutilationIt all seems so simple - quit mutilating girls and women's genitals!  Just stop doing it, m'kay?  This horrible procedure, which varies in degree of pathology from place to place, is completely unnecessary and is NOT ordained by any god person.  It does not serve any social purpose except to prevent women from feeling sexual pleasure and to make them into unfeeling sex toys for men, who basically own them.

In order to appease the barbaric cultures that practice this disgusting battery against young girls and women, the American Academy of Pediatrics decided at first that it would try to "lessen the evil," so to speak, by allowing a small nick to be performed by medical doctors in the U.S. Better than sending their girls abroad for the full-on butchery, they reasoned.

Well, golly, how about just prosecuting the parents for battery on a minor?  If anyone else in the country decided to take a butcher knife to their children and start cutting off body parts, they would be arrested.  The special "minorities" - soon to outnumber everyone else because of their reproductive rates - are allowed to commit heinous crimes against children, apparently. Fortunately, the AAP was shamed by public outcry to retract their position, stating:

Dr. Judith S. Palfrey, president of the academy, said: "We're saying don't do it. Do everything that you can to support that family in this tough time, but don’t be pulled into the procedure."

In the meantime, Dutch doctors have come right out and recommended a ban against the needless mutilation of boys - as they should.

The idiotic bending over backward to accommodate these cultures - many of which are Muslim - who mutilate girls and women is a sign of social depravity and degeneration, not a step towards an enlightened, pluralistic society.  No mutilation of children, including boys being "circumcised" for no medical reason, would be present in a truly enlightened society.  If after all these thousands of years your culture can't handle human sexuality, then it isn't worth shite, frankly.

Over the past several millennia, many cultures have lost significant traits through being compelled to adhere to different traditions and norms. Some of these losses were quite quick and devastating, but they occurred.  And this is one tradition that we do not need to keep around any longer for any reason.  Just get rid of it, abruptly and forever.

In other words, stop mutilating the genitals of girls and women - right now!  And certainly do not let your currently non-mutilating country allow this foul pestilence to invade and fester in any way, shape or form.

  • Arhata  - Stop Mutilialating
    I'm sending this to a Muslim Scholar in Egypt who is adamant about the superiority of Islam
  • Gene
    I wonder if any one really knows where this ritual sacrifice practice really comes from? It has been in many cultures, but it seems that those who ignorantly cling to superstition are the main privier-"just a little hint, look up the definition of this word" of this disgusting practice! And every so called religion or organized belief is a part of this same "amen, or gay man agenda" if you doubt it Research it for yourself. Aren't most if not all who seek power and fame at least "try-sexual" meaning they will do anything once if they like it they keep doing it, there is something to be said about perversion, sex much like drugs are good if used properly but over do it or do with out thinking and well look around and see what it creates!

    If you look into the TRANSHUMANIST agenda you will find they hate having the natural world with a male and female species, that we are now! They want to procreate by making genetic copies of them selves meaning we will no longer be here no more humans just mentally ill freaks.
  • Joy Andis  - criminal!
    I am angry for those women. all those who have this procedure have been butchered. and then they are psychologically bullied into agreeing that they weren't.
    This practice should be outlawed in every western country, and anyone willing to perform this gruesome deed should be in jail. Period!
  • Frank  - Common practice
    It was common practice for many years to circumcise baby boys for "hygienic" reaons. In reality, it was a customary religious practice foisted on the public in the name of disease control.It is long passed time to eliminate these barbaric abrahamic practices. I suppose female mutilation wasn't performed in the West is attributable to the Victorian belief that women couldn't achieve orgasm.
  • Jim Freedom  - Muslim men are afraid of women
    The a reason the Islamic men want to mutilate their women is because they are afraid of the women and the power they would have over the men with their sexual desire intact.

    Religion weakens the mind and makes it fearful.
  • Syrian Nationalist Party  - The practice is pre-Islamic, in fact Jewish
    The practice dates back to pre-Islamic period. It was practiced by the rulling Kuraish Bedouin of Mecca, Mohammad banned the mutilation practice for women and the burial alive of newborn females. The origin of this is Jewish, the Egyptians inhirited this barbarism from the Hebrews who dwelled and ruled in Egypt under an idiot Amen/marduk, inventor of all 3 diabolic systems that calls on his name. He also built a temple where teen girls will go and have sex, be killed while doing it so they can live in extacy for eternity.
    Amen is gay and have deep hatred to females because Ishtar almost had him burried alive in the Great Pyramid as punishment for his launching the Second Pyramid war that resulted in so much devestation and desertification of the Middle East after the use of awsome ray weapons, as the manuscripts states. He was released after 3 days after NinHerzaog begged for it, and hense it became the death and resurruction of Jesus story.
  • Jon Smetana  - Psychological, sexual, and non-sexual physical eff
    Continue to study and discuss the negative psychological and sexual effects that result from that nauseating practice. And continue to research the history and origin of that practice. And continue to use all that information to convince those people that their grotesque practice isn't necessary.

    Yes, I know that a sexual effect is a physical effect. But what I'm referring to is the (non-sexual) physical effects.

    But put more emphasis on informing them of the horrendous lifelong medical and physical discomforts that they might be - and I would think, must be - living with. Even after the healing is complete, it has to be.....awful.

    The above female reporter should have been accompanied by a female doctor who opposes that practice for medical reasons, not religious reasons. The presence of the female doctor, for the sake of the village lady, would have added credence to that reporter's interview.

    The Egyptian TV commentator said that even the educated Egyptian women do this. If you can't convert their educated, you'll have a tougher time converting their uneducated - mainly because of their religious fervor.





  • Jon Smetana  - They can still eat, write & clean house.
    In my above comment, because of the repulsiveness of the religious-medical act discussed in the above article, and, because I'm not a doctor, I didn't talk about (how) the anatomical parts of the victim are affected from the operation of that procedure. And I won't.

    I will, however, ask your readers to imagine this:

    What if all boys and girls at the age of twelve had to go to the doctor where they would have just one quarter of an inch removed from the tip of each of their ten fingers. They would be told that this would be done for religious-behavioral reasons to remind them throughout their lives not to steal nor to touch things that shouldn't be touched.

    By loosing (just) a quarter of one inch from the tip of each finger they would definitely be reminded to keep their hands off certain things. Yes, despite the loss of that quarter of one inch, they could still eat and write and clean house. But my God! Can you imagine the pain and discomfort?!!!

    Need I say? Think of those Muslim women.
  • Rabbi
    :( What about me ? I was forced to undergo circumcision at 10 years of age !The smuks forgot to do me at birth , so they hacked into me just before puberty ! Shalom.
  • Rabbi
    What about me ? i was circumcised at 10 ! It was a bloody mess i can tell you .I don't know what to make of it ! shalom .
  • kisame  - I once post a lot of stuff against this case
    but unfornately I met so much women out their who tried also things against that act and the believings for this kind of mutilation but at the same time they prefered circumcized guys and would do this to thei newborn son. Seemed to me that the most of them were a kind of hardcore feminist who gave a damn of the humanrights of little boys just girls Oo
    did make me sick this kind of double edged justice so I stopped beeing activist against child mutilation, all humans are just f**kep up in their heads in some ways, doesn't matter to help a some .

Schoch, Professor of Natural Science College of General Studies at Boston University; Author, Pyramid Quest, Voyages of the Pyramid Builders and Voices of the Rocks

Dr. W. Sumner Davis, Fellow, Royal Astronomical Society; Member, American Geophysical Union; Affiliate, New York Academy of Science
