i did the same thing you did
i googled up circumcision & saw articales on both boys & girls having this done. i couldn't read the stuff on girls getting their private parts (the cl word) semi-removed or fully. a lot of that in Africa.
who the fuck cuts off a girls thingy? wtf is wrong with people?
is this the same mutilation with cutting a boys dealy off?
ugh I know Chadwick. My best friend does international social work and travels to Africa speaking about female genital mutilation. I'm ashamed to say I've yet to be able to get myself to attend one of her workshops.for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

I don't care about minority or majority. And yes, living in the US I am definately in the majority here. What other countries, religions, cultures choose to do is this business. I couldn't give two fucks what happens in South Africa, Antartica, or wherever. It's still legal here and it's the parent's right to choose. Stop trying to push you beliefs on other people.0 -

Is that your thought on female genital mutalation as well? That it should be up to the parent to choose?
Have you known females that have had it done? I do. And you know what, she thought it was also completely normal and said she still enjoyed her sex life.
I was horrified by the fact that she'd had this done to her as a kid and against her consent but coming from where she did, it was normal.
Normal doesn't mean its right.0 -

I love how you keep criss crossing the line of male circumcision and disguising it and hiding it behind female genital "mutilation". I'm for whatever the law dictates. If male circumcision is still legal in my country I fully support the parent's right to choose. Stop trying to push your "morals" on other people becasue quite frankly there's quite a bit that could be brought up about Germanys past and present concerning people's own free wills and human rights that could be discussed and we frankly don't need to go there.0 -
I do not care for this thread.0

Both my kids are done. It's just better for health reasons. This dude I worked with got it done a few years ago cause it was causing him issues. And he was in a world of hurt after it. So I'm pro hood cuttingJust, not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I dont want it.
I just need it.

I love how you avoid the question. And how come I am pushing my morals onto people by arguing a topic yet you aren't pushing your morals by arguing the other side? :?
What does German's past have to do with anything here? Say what you like, I'm not german. I'll give you a clue...its in my username.0 -

The article you keep referring to is from Germany and your location shows Germany. I'm not pushing my morals at all. It's up to individual families to choose what they want as dictated by their culture, religion, and then ultimately the law. To answer your questions about females having the procedure. It's up to the family to decide again and if in their country they aren't breaking the law...go for it. I'm not in those people's heads. I don't live amongst them or fully understand their culture. WHo am I to read some obscure internet article and feel a need to determine that thousands of years of their culture is wrong and barbaric?0 -
Fair enough if that is how you feel. At least you are being consistent.
I however do feel a need to challenge outdated and barbaric practices and hope that we can move onto towards a better society.0 -
