    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation

    FGM harms women’s physical and emotional health throughout their lives.[62][63] It has no known health benefits.[11]

    There is no valid justification for FGM, cultural or otherwise. I do not care about comparisons to male circumcision. I do not care about the concerns of cultural relativism.

    It is a brutal practice performed by barbaric people butchering women in a soulless, sinister, deeply cynical, and horrifically ignorant crime against humanity.

    Bear the descriptions in the article at your own discretion.

    Genital mutilation is a terrible practice often done on unconsenting young children for bs cultural reasons. These traditions need to stop. Everyone has a right to genital integrity!

    if she doesn’t have any data on the benefits (and she doesn’t, because there aren’t) then the question regarding harms is moot to begin with. Don’t cut up children’s bodies without a medical necessity, period.

    Another out of touch, 50 something , dumb ass that thinks they’re the main character and somehow landed in office because they claimed to have “values”. Global reform or we are all going to die.
