tzijlstra   11 #18 Posted February 24, 2018 What about the Jewish?  I spoke about Fgm. More correctly FGM = female genital mutilation. But you will find that the Middle East is indeed part of the area where it occurs as a cultural phenomenon. Why anybody feels the need to enshrine it in a religious protocol is beyond me.

Halibut   12 #19 Posted February 24, 2018 Not remotely H and I will take a guess that you aren't either, still less "alarmed". How do you feel about the topic of Child Genital Mutilation?  I am indeed alarmed at the notion that entirely healthy and 'normal' women (and in some cases girls) feel the need to have surgery to 'cure' large labia etc.  In the case of children, unless there is a genuine medical need, I think it always wrong.

Dimple   10 #20 Posted February 24, 2018  Is the OP similarly concerned by the alarming rise in 'cosmetic' female genital surgeries - labiaplasty and vaginaplasty/'designer vagina?  Not really the same thing is it and I suspect you know that.

Good to know that we're on the same side when it comes to children being attacked with razor blades and sharp stones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

And before they can make the decision themselves?  They do and it isn't right. However, there is a major difference. FGM stops girls from ever enjoying sex, MGM does not quite have that effect, it is just... different.  Either way, it is a daft practice.
