"Women" (as if that's a SIG) have been on this since Gloria Steinem brought it to light in 1979.

Dafuck's it got to do with "Shrillary"?

WHO Guidelines Aim to Help Millions of Victims of Female Circumcision...

WHO Guidelines Aim to Help Millions of Victims of Female Genital Mutilation
May 16, 2016 — Every year, the World Health Organization reports that some 3 million girls, most under the age of 15, are subject to female genital mutilation. This number adds to the hefty toll of more than 200 million girls and women already living with the harmful consequences of this brutal, inhumane practice.

For the first time, WHO is issuing guidelines to help health workers provide better physical and psychological care for these girls and women. Female genital mutilation, or FGM, involves the partial or total removal of external genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. The practice is prevalent in 30 African countries, as well as a few countries in Asia and the Middle East. In addition, with increased global migration, more cases of FGM are occurring in Europe and North America.

Lale Say, coordinator in WHO's Department of Reproductive Health and Research, says FGM can cause as pain, severe bleeding and even death. "It has high risks during pregnancy and childbirth, both for the woman who is delivering, but also for her baby,” Say said. “It can cause obstetric tears, difficult labor and even loss of the baby at the time of the delivery. Other health problems, longer-term health problems, include … psychological risks, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder."

WHO notes that health workers often are unaware of the negative consequences of FGM and do not know how to treat them. The health agency's new recommendations focus on preventing and treating obstetric complications, and on helping women with depression and anxiety disorders. The guidelines also warn against the so-called medicalization of FGM.

To that end, doctors must refuse requests from family members to perform FGM, says WHO medical officer Doris Chou. "Medicalization is never acceptable because it violates medical ethics, as it is a harmful practice,” Chou said. “Medicalization itself perpetuates FGM, and the risks outweigh any perceived benefits. … As health care providers, we actually need to recall that we need to uphold the Hippocratic oath — and that is to do no harm." WHO says the guidelines can help ongoing global efforts to end female genital mutilation by better informing the health community about the many health risks associated with the practice.

If there needs to be a war for anything in this world, it is for the final liberation of our sisters.
Enough of this bull dung.

Until the NAGS can blame it on white, Christian men, it is a non-issue to the feminists.

LOL. You girls bring your little black dresses, the Men willbring our little black rifles and we can see who wins.

It's not like the purpose of sex is to make women happy. If done right it leads to 9 months of utter bitchiness and then 18 years of motherhood for the woman.

Once again, testimony to feeble comprehension abilities.
We'll leave 'Ana's' sisters out of it. The rest of the women in the world should be free.

Calling the procedure Female Genital Mutilation is an invented term used by western busybodies and self styled do-gooders.

In reality it's just female circumcision.

Heck, we have male circumcision here in America and no one raises a fuss about it.

The bottom line, it is their country, culture and tradition. So who are we to say whether it's right or wrong?

Why can't people just mind their own business? .......

Removing a clit is just circumcision? Why care about a culture stuck in the 6th century and causing very serious global problems? Seriously?

Why on earth would any sensible Man want that to happen?

 

[Silhouette]

So just checking...if it's an MD in the US amputating healthy genitalia to enable a mental patient having delusions they are something they aren't, then it's perfectly normal, healthy and fine.

If it's an arab doing it for other reasons, it isn't.

Did I get that right? How elective is "sex change" surgery if the patient is not in his right mind to begin with? Neither a young child nor a mental patient experiencing delusions would be legally fit to consent to such butchery.

Systems that oppress women deserve to be overthrown, discarded and remembered only in order to avoid making the mistake again.

To our resident Islam-apologist, here's some truths about this horrible and degrading practice.

The practice is rooted in gender inequality, attempts to control women's sexuality, and ideas about purity, modesty and aesthetics. It is usually initiated and carried out by women, who see it as a source of honour, and who fear that failing to have their daughters and granddaughters cut will expose the girls to social exclusion.[n 1] The health effects depend on the procedure; they can include recurrent infections, difficulty urinating and passing menstrual flow, chronic pain, the development of cysts, an inability to get pregnant, complications during childbirth, and fatal bleeding.[5] There are no known health benefits.[8]

The cultural practice of female circumcision is rooted in traditional values and morality going back thousands of years.

Yet silly western people have decided in the last few decades to try and force people who live on the other side of the world to abandon the ritual because it offends them. ........

Because some people want a PARTNER, not the live-in cook, maid, penis holster and punching bag you have.

There is nothing wrong with it that killing a few million savages wouldn't fix.

Their loss, not mine.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Yeah, everyone knows you are terrified that a woman might actually THINK for herself!

I honestly wonder how you might have reacted if you needed a tow truck, and the wrecker that showed up was driven by my wife.

 

[Staidhup]

So there are people still stuck in a feudalistic society, their choice, not ours to change, not our business.

Socialism allows a cult like Islam to do such things...
