0313 #10 Sabiny circumcisions, Rite of Passage

Female circumcision, in some part of the world, is a rite of passage, And for the community in eastern Uganda it's also a landmark between being a girl and a woman, which must be celebrated. However, circumcision has led to maiming and even death for thousands of women around the world. On International Woman's Day, disputes between tradition and human rights.

Oh my God why are you people even responding to markmywords53?! Are all of you brand new to the internet? He is what's called a "troll".

[markmywords53]

@emeliUK Show me a society that isn't patriarchal? All human societies are ruled by men. Women like to be subservient, and it's natural for them.

[emeliUK]

@markmywords53  ONLY PATRIACHAL SOCIETIES ARE FULL OF MISYOGINIST MEN LIKE YOU..

would you find any 'culture' like this in matriarchal societies?

Also why don't YOU get circumsised then you sick b'tard.

[emeliUK]

@maxdashu Exactly!

Mark my words 53 sounds like a mysoginist

[emeliUK]

@markmywords53 How is that perverse?

But only in Patriarchal societies,.. This sort of doesn't happen in matriacrchal societies.

[bluegama500]

@markmywords53 Very true.

@londonafter If you look at all the years that human beings have been on this earth, and all the parts of the world they have inhabited during that time, in every place and time, women have been to a greater or lesser extent subservient to men. I submit that this is because they are naturally suited to that role, and because they prefer it. Only in the past few years and certain developed nations has the bizarre perversion of sexual equality been taken even half-way seriously.

@markmywords53

You must be very uneducated at the least. Ridding a female or male of ANY part of their body is unnatural. If it wasn't meant to be there, you wouldn't have been born with it. I agree with maxdashu. Only insecure tyrants, such as yourself, would prefer for a woman to be submissive.

[maxdashu]

Then you have a quarrel with Mother Nature and the creation.

And Venus envy, since the clitoris is the only organ whose sole purpose is sexual pleasure. Purity has nothing to do with it. In fact excision causes infection, smelly discharges, fistula, and often death.

Only insecure tyrants want women to be submissive.

[markmywords53]

I disagree; to me, removing the clitoris makes the female body more perfect, by taking away a vestigial male part and making her sexuality wholly female. In place of the quasi-male orgasm comes the deeper pleasure of penetration.

As for women's power, I believe women's position in society should be submissive, and circumcision helps reinforce that. Likewise I think promoting female purity is a good thing.
