How do you feel about female circumcision or female genital cutting?

Criminal mutilation: Correctly, this barbarous practice is against the law in all civilised countries. A major felony and a prisonable offence if performed in the USA. The procedure is mutilation and consists of amputating the clitoris and in some cases partly closing the vaginal opening.

Horrible: Some ancient traditions are hard to stop. Female genital cutting is a barbaric, awful and potentially life threatening act used to control women. It involves removing the clitoris and some or all of the vulva without local anesthesia. It should never be done.

Female genital cut: I view it as a tragic statement about how women are viewed & treated in many areas of the world.

The females are seen as unmarriageable & of lower status if they have not been circumcised. This practice results in.
