It is done to implant FEAR in little boy babies so they grow up NEVER questioning the OLD MEN who claim godhead and put laws on all of us. Also to keep the penis stimulated so the male will want to have sex acts often and keep as many females pregnant as possible and having MORE boy babies to grow up to be cannon fodder. It does NOT help cleanliness and a male who is trained early on to keep his penis clean will stay much healthier. and NOT neurotic. It is a violent RAPE of a tiny baby. ` |

In a rite of passage, an elder removes their genitalia -- usually without anesthesia. Herbal pastes may be applied later to help heal the wound. The procedure leaves the girls permanently scarred, unable to ever have normal sex lives. The human-rights organization Amnesty International estimates that 135 million girls have undergone various forms of genital mutilation, which ranges from a clitoridectomy to stitching the entire vaginal area closed except for a small opening for urination. For some, the procedure has religious meaning. Amnesty International reports that although the practice predates Islam, it was adopted by some Muslims and survived among Christian converts. Ethiopian Jews also practice it.

User ID: 89830 Sweden 10/17/2006 07:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | According to what I've read, male circumcision is nowhere near female circumcision in its effects on sexuality and life in general. Female circumcision is about the removal of clitoris in its "MILDER" variants, go figure... This thread is about stopping female circumcision, a truly barbaric practise that ruins the lives of countless women. Maybe it could be a good idea to start a separate thread about stopping male circumcision for those of you feeling a need to discuss this issue. Love, /LTC Peachblossom This space is not for rent. |

Quoting: LTC PeachblossomMaybe it could be a good idea to start a separate thread about stopping male circumcision for those of you feeling a need to discuss this issue. Love, /LTC Peachblossom This thread is about BOTH male and female circumcision. If you will LOOK at the links in that list you will see that most of them are in re MALE circumcision. I posted several about males so there would be a broad view of the lifelong horrors of this barbarism. Read any or all of them so as to KNOW the effects on either gender are equally devastating. If you are a victim there is no measure of how much worse it is for one gender or another. Just as the long range effects of rape. it cannot be said it is worse for a male or female. Some persons do grow past it with seeming ease while others never get past it. The ability to heal is non gender specific. ` |

LTC Peachblossom User ID: 89830 has not criticized any 'cultural diversity'. She has stated the obvious. Either you jest or you are in likemind with the practice. However IF you are from a culture that practices this shameful torture,it is HERE you find just how barbaric it is and now you have an opportunity to engage your cultural relatives in a serious dialogue on the immediate cessation of same. Give counsel to your self and do what is right . Or dont make jokes of a practice that has harmed millions and killed thousands. Either way thank you for signing the petition. ` |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 161809 Canada 11/24/2006 08:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The only instructions in the Quran regarding female circumcision are to not remove too much. Only the hood of the clitoris. Unfortunately it has evolved into a full out mutilation to add to the male reign of terror over females on this planet. The removal of the clitoris, and in other cases, the removal of the major labia, the clitoris with the remaining mutilation sewn smaller to provide a smaller vaginal opening. The latter sometimes results in death in childbirth. I'm sure there's a certain level of sadistic satisfaction at this assault on women even in North America. |
