It's done in Africa...There was a model who spoke out against it.....It's a real problem there.....Just terrible..They also do other bizarre things to their women to make sure they won't be cheating....They sew them up and then un sew them, then sew them up again.....When ever their men want sex, they get un sewed....then it's back to the sewing up again.....JUST TERRIBLE...I can't remember this model, but she was speaking out on TV a few years back...
That same model said a form of FGM was legal in America.She said we were talking about a little incision in the clitoris or who do you call it in English.
Plain and simple, this practice..no matter if it's legal or illegal...or what country it happens in...is barbaric and symptomatic of a culture that operates on values from the dark ages.
Despite that, some of the instances of this happening are based on religious beliefs.... That being said, who are we to say it should or shouldn't happen? It all depends on the womans willingness to have it happen. The only difference in this, is that I've never heard of any woman wanting this to happen to her.

i think any kind of involuntary genital mutilation is immoral (and I'm Jewish!!!!)

I thought it was just a snip of the skin like they do to men.. Genital mutilation isn't so much evil as it is wrong. What's the differance? Wrong is just something you don't do, even Hitler would squint his eyes and for a breif moment feel empathy.. It's like ****ing a chicken. Just wrong.
a horrid practice...religion is no excuse...but there have been worse excuses for equally horrid acts
take the castrato of italy...young boys who are castrated at 8 or 9 years old to prevent the normal hormonal changes from occuring...why?...purely for entertainment...these boys would retain their high pitched voices and as adults would be part of the opera
the technique used was even worse however...castration is normally thought of as simply cutting off the testicals...not entirely so...one of the ways castration was achieved is that the boys testes were ground into paste while still inside the scrotum, by hand before being cut off...
the original jewish practice was just a small snip of the foreskin, the current practice, as started by a corrupt rabbi during greek occupation excises the whole skin. (luckily my parents are very liberal jews)
when you take of the foreskin your removing a lot of skin, muscle tissue, nerve tissue and blood vessels. Contrary to popular belief, the forskin protects you from infection and injury by housing many of the same organisms that protect the vagina. Cleaning is real easy too. most importantly, it contains the frenulum and the rigid band, which are slightly more sexually sensitive than the clitoris and make sex more pleasurable for both parties.
bottom line, when you snip it off, you lose about a good 85% of your sexual sensitivity. so...sucks to be 20% of the planet that's circumcised.
