Are some cultures better than others?

What is on the other side of the ledger, so to speak, for Somali immigrants that makes their contribution to American culture, a net positive?

Huh, I wonder what they think of male baby circumcisions?

 

[Hafar1014]

It happens in Minn and there are few if any prosecutions. Thanks tampon Tim

 

[1srelluc]

Do they install "lip plates"?

 

[Darkwind]

You know, if they did 100% of the women, inside two generations we'd be rid of them completely.

I don't condone that, or what is being done and people need to go to jail for mutilating little girls.

It does appear, however, that this culture has no business in the United States and they should be deported. All 100,000+ of them.

 

[1srelluc]

I read that "dogs breakfast" of words in the OP and decided....Nah, don't give a shit.

After all, aren't fewer Somalis a good thing?

I understand about the same proportion of men in America are put through male genital mutilation.

They were heard to say, using 500 words to make the point:

 

[DGS49]

FGM does not prevent or inhibit its victims from having sexual intercourse or from having children. It is intended to eliminate the problem of females enjoying sexual intercourse.

If true (and I have my doubts) this is yet another example of how some cultures are "bad," and should be actively opposed in civilized societies such as the U.S. and Western Europe. The CULTURES, not the people.

If that is it, they should just send 1srelluc to Minnesota.

Just kidding!

Exactly.

If Ilhan Omar's own brother married her, that poontang mutilation must be some powerful shit.

When I was a kid a lot larger percent of us got their tonsils removed than now. It happened to me and now they say it is harmful.

Also, many parents give male babies short "boy" haircuts before they can even talk to say what gender they want to be!

Anyway, I hope no victims of FGM are reading this thread, since these irrelevant comparisons are so disrespectful to their suffering and loss.

Hysterectomies of Somali women would be best. Think of all the money the world could save.

I doubt if very many victims of FGM are reading this thread, seeing as how so few of them have a working knowledge of the English language.

Are these women forced into these procedures, or are they culturally accepted?

Approximately 50% to 65% of American males suffer genital mutilation at birth:

“We reviewed over 1.5 million U.S. hospitalizations of male neonates, ages 0 to 28 days, during the period 2012 to 2022, and found that the overall prevalence of hospitalizations where a neonatal male circumcision was performed decreased significantly, from 54.1% to 49.3%,” says study co-senior author Aaron Tobian, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pathology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “Decreases were observed across most patient and hospital subgroups, including whites — a group with traditionally high circumcision rates — where circumcisions dropped 5.3% over the decade studied.”

While the number of white male babies receiving circumcisions declined (65.3% in 2012 and 60.0% in 2022), the study showed NMC prevalence among Black (64.9% to 66.1%) and Hispanic (21.2% to 21.0%) neonates remained stable during that same period. There were decreases for Asian or Pacific Islanders (39.7% to 37.5%) and Native Americans (44.2% to 40.9%).

Forced. Nearly all are children when it is done to them.

The removal of the female clitoris is to permanently deprive the female of sexual pleasure. Circumcision, not so much.
