Well if I'm to believe that the procedures in Nip/Tuck are plausible then the clitorides of women that have undergone FGM can be restored to an extent.

Female circumcision is primarily a social and cultural practice, not a religious one. Custom and tradition are by far the most frequently cited reasons for FGM.

you can restore just about anything physically. function is almost impossible to restore. especially with FGM since they usually excize the entire internal structure and then leave a small, sewed up hole.

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.

Indeed. For many women this happens whiole they are still very young.

Some women never recover from the psychological drama, some contrqact infections and die.

Uh... I don't know about the sewing thing. I think the FGM that's being referred to is the mutilation/removal of prepubescent girls' clitorides.

I think they did/do that in Egypt and other islamic countries.
And the sewing thing, I've heard that happens in Africa, but they just "unsew" it once, when the girl gets married.

Oh and strom's right is a tradition/culture thing, not religious.

The most severe form of female genital mutilation is infibulation. The external genitalia is removed and the remaining skin is sewn together with thorns or stitches and the legs may be bound together for up to 40 days.

female circumcision is done to prevent women from ever enjoying sex.

which is wrong, because male circumcision doesnt seem to affect them any. male circumcision is more or less a matter of hygene ive heard.

but these are pre-pubescsent girls, who lets say are 10-11 years old...
not as babies like male circumcision

and its not performed with any anestesia, and normally done with unsterile and barbaric cutting tools such as metal shards and broken glass.

I do believe its illegal in the US, only because its unnecessary mutilation of a child.

that's a myth. circumcision destroys 85% of sexual sensitivity and leaves you open to disease MORE readily. it was originally used to prevent masturbation in the united states and was invented by egyptians as a way to brand slaves.
