Fighting female genital mutilation among America's daughters

[jonnykook]

To Kady in the video,

"A human right violation" I beg to disagree. You still have a lot of work to do. I wondered where you come from with that woman right violation thing of yours; open your eyes Kady. it is clear that you had passed the age of being a candidate for circumcision you were way too big of a girl to even conceive that idea that's where the blaming of your parent should be focused not any of the above. advocate for early circumcision and safer cleaner conditions for the practice.

[ruderevival]

@jonnykook thats bullshit, this is a hramful practice that should not be respected or tolerated. Anyone from these cultures who believe in this monstrosity should be insulted ruthlessly.

[stronzo5785]

Ladies...your bodies are so lovely without any cutting, and I'm sure that the man you choose would want you to be the way the God who created you meant for you to be.

Please...fight against those who would cut you.

Genital mutilation is wrong, whether forced upon females or males. Circumcision / genital mutilation is a bloody barbaric tradition that harms all victims, physically and mentally. We need a worldwide end to genital mutilation of boys and girls.

[jonnykook]

@Chadolution I like what you are saying and you cannot even understand how happy i am to read your take on this issue. If we decide to give everybody a choice, then we should stop the practice on both girls and boys. Thinking back at my circumcision I wish my parents had not done it. It is not okay to hurt me just because I am a boy. But if it was done at an early age when I was not even conscious this wouldn't be a problem. Early (days/months no ages) circumcision for boys and girls is better.

[Dibsanim]

this is bullshit!! I would never agree and I would die before anyone did this too me.. wtf as if childbirth isn't painful enough..

[ckrevalin]

@Dibsanim the problem is that the girls who have this done ARE girls. Usually from infancy to prepuberty 15 years. How much fight does a 4 year old have against 4 woman holding her down while some uneducated person cuts your most private and sensitive parts? All while telling you they are cleaning away the dirty? Hmm? The boys don't want 'open' girls because they are 'whores'. These girls need people to stand up for them. Sad.

[Dibsanim]

@ckrevalin I was angry at the time I had made the comment, the only solution for the older girls is to run away from home.

[TiniNormi]

I would have run away from being circumcised if I hadn't been an infant at the time. Oh well.

[janderson2000]

I have a solution to the FGM growing problem in America and Europe:

STOP MUSLIM IMMIGRATION NOW.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

I am so grateful that congress is finally working on legislation like this. I can't believe that this was not made illegal a long time ago, but then again, male genital mutilation is still legal and commonly done to babies! As a man, I feel like I dodged a bullet aimed at my infantile body. Children are not property to do with as people please! Many Christians try to say that a fetus is a human being with rights, yet they mutilate its genitalia once it comes out?! Hypocrisy!

[GirlSpaz0]

Dude i would run away too! Fuck that shit nobody's cutting off my anything. Ewwwww makes me queazy just thinking about it. Stop Female Mutilation! SFM!

[Keyo717]

I feel bad fo these women. Most forms of culture is an overrated sin... It makes people live in the past ... It's their ass backwards families. I don't care what country it is. Holding on to all that old shit of any kind is dumb. And if you move here and keep doing all that backwards crap thats even dumber.... GO BACK HOME!

[zane1os]

Yet male genital mutilation is not only legal but encouraged in america.

@tawnygirlwk37:

the bible is nt holy at all. just read once complete.

religious and traditional idiots just do what is written or what they are told. no need for thinking themselbves or behaving ethically...

[peacerebelgirl]

male circumcision should be given the same criticism.

[ipwnuforever]

@peacerebelgirl no it should not

[SonyaKano]

@peacerebelgirl i half-agree with you.

[wiibot15]

@peacerebelgirl No, Lol , it shouldn't.

[gabriellezers]

@peacerebelgirl Obviously you have no understanding of what FGM entails. It is FAR more gruesome than male circumcision. The fact that you would even make this kind of comparison demonstrates your lack of knowledge when it comes to FGM. Women's ENTIRE clitoris is removed during some procedures, and their labia is SEWN SHUT in others until they are re-opened later on in life for their husbands.

[peacerebelgirl]

@gabriellezers in fact, i have a good understanding of fgm; i've researched it and know what it entails. it is abominable and completely unwarranted. i've also researched, written about, and witnessed male circumcision. it is also abominable and completely unwarranted; i'm declaring that it be given the same criticism. the foreskin is akin to the clitoris, and the pain a baby suffers during the procedure is so intense that studies show the brain waves change. it is a lifelong trauma.

[Kinggeorge720]

WHITE PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT BLACK WOMENS VAGINAS... I NEVER HEAR ABOUT THE PROBLEMS OF WHITE PEOPLE ONLY BLACK AND BROWN

[Indomitable]

@Kinggeorge720 Yes, you talk for all white people. Stop being presumptuous.

[lgvereor]

@Indomitable He is right though, I'm not being racist but minorities' problems, many of which are their choices, are always in the spotlight, they are "babied" in the rest because of political correctness.

When was the last time you have heard outcries over say racial slur against whites, or mistreatment of whites in black countries or regions? Never. Equality goes both ways, it isn't just for minorities.

[g0twav]

@lgvereor racist

[lgvereor]

@g0twav idiot?

[g0twav]

@lgvereor 'm not being racist but minorities' problems,

racial apologetics are annoying

don't do it

[lgvereor]

@g0twav Take a look at the fucking news, if you oppose a black president, your a racist, if you ask for legal unions for gays instead of marriage, your a fucking homophobe, and of course, if you oppose a mosque near the site of an attack or keep full burqa out of testing areas, your an islamiphobe.

But... If you require a Christian to remove a pendant because it is "offensive" or fine her because she asks for a Christian roommate, your an outstanding civilian, or if you attack whites it's fair.
