Gabby Sidibe talks about Female Genital Mutilation

[OfTheCross]

It's gonna be a long summer for some African and Middle Eastern young ladies

What do parents think to try and justify that? I know its easy for us to consider ancient African practices as 'barbaric', but all of those served as safeguards for society in some way (killing disabled infants/twins, etc). Mutilating a girls genitals tho? What is potentially mortally wounding and assuredly disfiguring a girl supposed to accomplish?

I dont know enough about this to say I'm for or against the practice. But why is it called female genital mutilation when its from a different culture but male circumcision in our culture isn't called male genital mutilation?

When a woman is "circumcised" her clitirous, inner and outer vulva are removed, sometimes the skin around the vaginal opening is scraped or cut and other unimaginable things are done to the child. It not only puts women at extreme risk for complications with child birth and life in general, because some women do die from the after effects, the mutilation makes sex extremely painful and hard.

Foreskin =/= to this in any way, shape or form.
