Female genital 'nicks' should be legal: gynecologists
By Emma Batha
>LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Countries that have banned female genital mutilation (FGM) should allow less invasive practices such as small surgical nicks to girls' genitalia as a compromise, two American gynecologists said on Monday.
>But campaigners against FGM strongly criticized the proposal, saying it would undermine global efforts to eradicate the internationally condemned ritual.
>At least 200 million girls and women have been subjected to FGM in over 30 countries, according to U.N. estimates.
>The ancient practice usually involves the partial or total removal of a girl's external genitalia. In some cases the vaginal opening is also sewn up.
>But some communities practice less invasive rituals such as pricking or nicking the clitoris.
>The U.S. gynecologists, writing in the Journal of Medical Ethics, argued that permitting more minimal procedures could allow families to uphold cultural and religious traditions while protecting girls from more dangerous forms of cutting.
>Communities which support FGM often consider it a prerequisite for marriage. Many also see it as a religious obligation although it is not mentioned in the Koran or Bible.
>But FGM can cause a host of physical and psychological problems.
>Gynecologists Kavita Shah Arora and Allan Jacobs said procedures that slightly changed the look of a girl's genitalia without damaging them were comparable to male circumcision or cosmetic procedures in Western countries like labiaplasty.
>Laws against mild modifications were "culturally insensitive and supremacist and discriminatory towards women", they wrote in the specialist journal, which is published by the British Medical Journal.

welp, the muzzies are winning
meanwhile I bring up how circumcision is wrong to my non-jewish parents and they laugh at me
i'm against all forms of genital mutilation, unless absolutely necessary
what use would either FGM or circumcision be besides "w-well muh tradition" or some medical reason (that i can't think of atm)
On one hand, Genital Mutilation is horrible. On the other hand, it would be nice to give roasties some of their own medicine.
Tough decisions
It's just a body mod.

>or Bible
no Christian nations believe in FGM, thats just the sjws trying to not single out islam even though Islam should be singled out.
Their the ones that do it, so stop pretending its everyone.

In Islam the misgivings of women are as important as the shit made by an ant.

>could allow families to uphold cultural and religious traditions
What if the child doesn't want to be involved in those cultural and religious traditions? Should parents really have the right to mutilate their children before they're fully cognizant adults, no matter how "minor" the mutilation? Shouldn't children have some amount of control over their bodies and shouldn't it be kept in mind that in a liberal democracy people are free to choose whatever religion they want, rather than being stuck with the state religion or their parents'?
If it's a prerequisite to marriage, well, they shouldn't be getting pushed into marriage before 18 either.
>procedures that slightly changed the look of a girl's genitalia without damaging them were comparable to male circumcision
>without damaging
>male circumcision
Oh, they're delusional.

They leave a small hole for menses to leak out of. It's called infibulation.
Here in the US they used to do a similar thing to boys to keep them from masturbating. They'd sew the foreskin shut with metal sutures, leaving just enough of an opening for the urine to come out. If the boy got an erection or tried to play with his foreskin it would cause pain.
>Through the courtesy of Dr Archibald, Superintendent of the Iowa Asylum for Feeble-Minded Children, we have become acquainted with a method of treatment of this disorder which is applicable in refractory cases, and we have employed it with entire satisfaction. It consists in the application of one or more silver sutures in such a away as to prevent erection. The prepuce, or foreskin, is drawn forward over the glans, and the needle to which the wire is attached is passed through from one side to the other. After drawing the wire through, the ends are twisted together, and cut off close. It is now impossible for an erection to occur, and the slight irritation thus produced acts as a most powerful means of overcoming the disposition to resort to the practice.

by that logic, we should circumcise Chads, too, because circumcision makes sex less enjoyable for him.
