well, this is just one of many methods of securing the sole right to mate with your female. it also is done to make sure you are the father of whatever comes out of that woman. it is ONE way to do that, not the best and not something i agree with.

I purchased an entire restaurant-size Hellman's mayonnaise jar full of circumsized clits on E-Bay. When people come over to my house I put a few of them (which I first dip in lavender honey) out in a small dish on the coffee table and say they they're a type of dried gummy bear.

After they eat a few I say, "Guess what...Those are African clits". You can imagine their surprise.

Then I say, "I won't keep you long. I'll KEEP YOU FOREVER"

I do not think anyone here was talking about "MGM" and how we all accept it. Furthermore, one of the common forms of FGM is clitoridectomy, which involves removal of the entire clitoris. This would be the same as removing the head of the penis in men, not simply the foreskin. Infibulation is where the clitoris is removed, and the outer edges of the labia are cut off and stiched together to form scar tissue to prevent intercourse. This is then cut open after marriage to allow the husband his rightful 'access.' You are mistaken if you think that the even milder form where the hood of the clitoris is removed is the most common practice of FGM. You are also mistaken to think that FGM and MGM are by any means the same. They are not even close.

The reasoning as far as Ive been able to learn for FGM is almost the same as for MGM, in a lot of cultures its to make them more feminine or more masculine (respectivly) or it can be a purifacation ritual, it can be a rite of passage into adulthood. Every culture that practices FGM also practices MGM, and in those cultures usualy the methods (in terms of cutting instuments, sanitation, ect.) are the same and the health risks are about the same. MGM is equivalent to the most comon forms of FGM (though obviously infibulation is worse than most circumcisions) and does remove some of the most erogonus tissue, and the most erogonus nerves as well as changing the mechanics of sex for that male forever. Even if you dont believe that MGM is as big of a problem as FGM one point you should pay attention to if you oppose FGM is that by condoning MGM and abohing FGM we come off as hypocrites and that hurts the cause for abolishing FGM.

I studied FGM's a little bit in a womens lit class, and i still don't know how I feel. It sounds disgusting, brutal, dangerous, (and more negative adjectives) but lets put this in perspective. There have been cases where women haven't gotten infections and have had healthy relationships. And implants and other gross methods of beauty "enhancement" in America, like those haven't resulted badly with infections etc? it seems like a terrible rite, but com'on now, we have bad rites too, here in 'merica.

Recognizing that stuff like FGM is awful and uneccessary is fucking OBVIOUS when you're completely removed from the situation and have the benefit of distance. And when all youre doing is crying Oh Horror! it's self-indulgent and fucking retarded. Honestly, you read an article in a fashion magazine and decided that lobbing off part of a little girl's vagina is like totally brutal and like cruelty or something... way to go out on a limb and take a stand, your moral compass is astounding. You think this is a new issue? Fuckin Oprah had a special on this, and I'm sure she felt just as self-rightous afterwards as you do now. "I'll talk, I'll listen to reason, but ultimately the bat in my hand'll get the point across if words don't." Are you fucking kidding? Yeah, good luck Rambo... If that's honestly how you think it'll go down then you really are dumb and a chauvinist too. Believe it or not, the idea that women have rights is also "just culture". But that doesnt mean you wouldnt sacrifice everything to make sure they didnt go anywhere. And believe it or not, there a people, women even and women not so different from yourself, who feel the same way about FGM. That's not the same thing as saying that FGM is unassailable, it's being mature enough to understand the good people will do awful things b/c everyone else is, just like the nazis, just like the taliban, and just like you.

So I guess we should draw arbitrary lines regarding whose cultural is accepted and whose is not? Who makes the decision on which culture is right? You? So, the cultural relativist argument is absurd, but suggesting that we can all find a happy medium in these barbaric cultural practices by understanding the 'context,' as you suggest, is not?

I know what side of the fence I'm on. You, not so much.

I'm furious that women play a hand in their own victimization by proliferating ignorance under the guise of tradition.

Of course we can't just walk into Africa and say, Hey, people, you're fucking stupid, we're taking your rites [not rights] away.

I see you, too, are well versed in the power of patronization. Thanks for that.

But while we smooth the road so as not to ruffle tribal feathers, the violence keeps happening. Find a faster way.

The difference is in approach. You appear to want to sit down and talk it out.

i absolutely agree with you, that over-philosphising and spending too long "understanding the context" results in a sort of academic impotence, and that justifying something because it represents a part of culture is simplistic and can permit harmful behaviour against vulnerable victims who are denied a voice.
i don't want to suggest that FGM is justified by its context, but that actions to eradicate it will be a lot more effective if its context is understood.
This is why human rights organisations employ anthropologists.
Also, taking such a patronising tone will only alienate people who may otherwise have been receptive to your argument.

No, darlin.

Actually, exactly what you're saying is that because FGM sits in the context of culture, we should all take pause and put the knife play above reproach.

Which is precisely the thinking that enables others to pull off this masochistic bullshit, masquerading as the ooh-aah fake mystery of mythology.

Irish Catholic women were denied divorce from abusive spouses, and forced to stay against their will and to the detriment of their own safety.

Culture.

There's no difference. Pressure from the town, pressure from the church, pressure from the community.

The end result is the same. Yet another woman is told what to do by some group of fuckwits who wants everyone to follow the same rules.

If you can't fathom the difference, you're as bad as they are.

While you're out getting laid, enjoying the O, and wasting time getting academic and "understanding the context", more kids get cut against their will.

There are people who act, and there are those who sit home and read about it. Do us a favor, relegate yourself to the second bin, and get the hell out of the way.

taking cultural relativism to its extreme as you have done is going to reduce any argument to absurdities.
There are, of couse, normative rights that transcend culture and nobody is arguing that FGM is desireable. i was simply suggesting that we understand the context in which it occurs BEFORE dismissing it as nothing more than primitive misogynistic violence.

Look, let's be clear. FGM is simply the most extreme method of male domination and control over female sexuality. Sure, you can argue that women get nose jobs because they are made to believe that your face should be perfect if you are going to snag a man. Also, you can argue that women need to diet to excess because to be thin is to be beautiful. But, you cannot argue that a 45 year old Jewish woman getting a nose job is the same as hacking off the genitals of a 5 year old kid, then having her bed-ridden for months trying to fight off death due to infection.

For those of you who state that we "cannot judge other cultures" because everyone is so very special in their own way, fuck off. I guess that means we cannot say what happened in Rwanda was bad right? I guess we cannot say the Holocaust was inappropriate right? Get a clue.

Look, I don't know how much clearer I can be.

You picked up on the quotes/trivializing thing, good. It was intentional.

I don't care what grandma where thinks it's OK. There's a ridiculously huge glaring difference between belief, tradition, and celebration, and actions and trends people pass off as culture/religion that involve violence against kids.

Just to see if I was a bubble off center, I asked my half dozen friends from Kenya and they assured me that their tribes at home had recognized the error of their ways years ago. That their sisters and mothers have been safe from such barbarism for decades.

Why? Because tribal elders and the whole damn community have picked up on the fact that slicing up defensive kids is fucked up. That playing the superstition-as-religion card with a knife is perhaps not the most enlightened way to treat their women.

Education, medicine, science, and justice are the enemies of FGM, so please, pack up a textbook, stethoscope, microscope, and some scales and spread the word.

We are human beings. We are capable of making decisions about our own lives. All I'm saying is give people the option to say yes or no, don't do it for them. Otherwise, we might as well give up our rights, get back in the kitchen, and shut our mouths forever.

It's just culture.



Subject: FGM vs. Cosmetic surgery
Date: Jan 26 2007 03:48:33 AM
Author: Blah

The people here likening FGM to cosmetic surgery are using arguements that women who uphold their right to continue this practice often use in Britain. As in, who are the British government to tell anyone that FGM is immoral when they allow plastic surgery. Ruby is right, it's all well and good for us Westerners to tell people that their culture is wrong and that these women have been brainwashed when we have no experience of the traditions and cultural influences that inform and back up this practice in the wider world.

That said, I am strongly against FGM as it is a practice carried out on little girls who have no say in the matter and often with disastrous results (a five year old girl died last year as a result of her injuries, and I am sure she was not the only one) that can last a lifetime.

If you are appauled and upset by this practice, go to www.forwarduk.org.uk read more and donate funds. This is a tiny London based charity (with projects in Africa) who have been doing good work for over 20 years. Make your voices heard.

It's not like they're trying to trick horrified westerners into looking the other way so they can ghoulishly torture their grand-daughters. The grandma in the testimonial REALLY REALLY thinks that this is absolutely normal and necessary and, on top of that, actually thinks that everyone else is fucked up for NOT doing this... try and wrap your brain around THAT... same for all those other things you mentioned. They're all normal average people doing fucked up shit without even recognizing it as being fucked up. Hey, it's not so different here... Not defending FGM, btw, but saying "OMG FUCKED UP" is the easy part, and somebody out there prolly thinks you're pretty fucked up yourself.

Anyway, judging by how these women feel about it, this is something that'll probably disappear on its own in a few generations as societies modernize.

Nobody in Beverly Hills is dragging a screaming kid into a liposuction clinic. All of us, every day, are bombarded by the fashion industry, the food industry, and influences that try to bend us to their will.

But an ounce of backbone can stave off those forces, whereas a 50-lb second grader doesn't have a chance in hell of escaping the grip of an elder with a scalpel. Especially when steel is coupled with the fear of failure and disgrace for not participating in ritual torture passed off as "culture".

Nazism was a "culture". Binding feet was part of a "culture". Keeping women uneducated, covered from public view, and out of reach of the rights afforded to men is part of a "culture".

Fine. But unless you pitch those ideas to adults with free will who have an actual opportunity to either accept, or refuse and go their own way, there is no justification for making the decision for them.

Characterize plastic surgery with whatever terms you want, but it doesn't change the fact that it's VOLUNTARY.

Women can chop themselves at will -- bigger boobs, fewer ribs, puffier lips, what-fucking-ever, but it's THEIR CHOICE.

FGM is perpetrated on children. It's a decision made without their input. It's violent, oft-times permanently damaging, physical manipulation performed without consent.

I understand what you're saying, I do. We kooky Westerners, with our pressure to look and live a certain way can be disgusting in our own right, sure. It could be conceived that we brainwash girls to believe that the only way to earn the equivalent of tribal esteem is to nip and tuck their ways to acceptance.

But that would be cherry-picking facts to suit a false argument.

Not a single one of these testimonials -- and I'm going to go out on a big limb and say the vast majority of females on the receiving end of this butchery, hence the article, the foundation, and the worldwide horror at such a practice -- described a willing participant.

These were kids. Held down. Against their will. To have their sex lives ended before they began.

In the name of what. Cultural control.

The sheer ignorance of comparing a grown adult woman deciding to have surgical enhancement against an 8-year old getting her clit hacked off in a back bedroom is the kind of simplistic idiocy one would expect at a middle school lunch table.

If you want to do some research and get back to us on the validity of this act's cultural significance, knock yourself out.

Female circumcision has a profound cultural significance, with many young girls not feeling as though they are fully a woman until they have undergone the procedure.
it is pretty easy for us to look at it from the window of our own culture and dismiss it as barbaric and misogynistic, but let's try to understand how many of our own practices, such as breast augmentation and other popular forms of cosmetic surgery, would be regarded by other cultures.
Some women from our culture choose to have their genitals mutilatated by surgeons because they believe it will make them more attractive to men who have grown up conditioned by the pornstar aesthetic. We justify this by saying it is the woman's choice and right to do so, but degree of choice can be a hard thing to measure.
I am not condemning women who undergo cosmetic surgery, nor am i condoning female circumcision, but it might have been interesting if Vice had balanced this article with the stories of women who have not been emmigrants, or otherwise influenced by western culture.
This is not brainwashing, it's called enculturation, and it's what makes us who we are...

wikipedia says that in some areas the clitoris is considered "masculine" and for a girl to be considered a full woman it has to be removed (forskin on guys is considered "feminine" and is also removed in mid-childhood for the same reason). They also do it to ensure that the girl stays a virgin and doesn't sleep around. In more extreme versions of it they actually sow everything shut after the main op except for a pee/period hole until she's married when her in-laws 'open' it before consummation. It's mostly practiced in North and East Africa and is also called "pharaonic circumcision" because it is believed to have originated in Ancient Egypt. Barf.

you know vice magazine, i really enjoy your witty, snarky editorial voice. but the headline and lead for this article are beyond inappropriate. I can't decide if i'm more nauseated by female genital mutilation or by the flippant way you frame these personal narratives.

what the fuck do women need a clit for anyways?
it's not like 99% of dudes even know where it is let alone how to properly stimulate it
and if you're a lesbian, why even bother living?

jane, in agreement. "gentile", are you trying to make a comparison? don't think so. the clitoris is what would have turned into a penis. all those wonderful nerve endings = destroyed.

What exactly is the cultural resoning behind this? I think male circumcision is barbric but i can understand how the tradition came about. This seems to serve no end but to stop the women from getting any pleasure from sex. It's disgusting.

Fuck being thin and good looking. Most girls just want to hang around with plump bearded guys who are hilarious at parties and always have coke. If this guy was famous he’d probably be able to fuck them as well.

Not sure why Italians are so cheesed off about Jersey Shore, cause the orange line of the Long Island Railroad makes that shit look like the fucking Bicycle Thief.
