    female genital mutilation

    okay… wow.

    circumcision is a harder to understand, wrapped in the cloak of medical hospitality to be blunt, its a different form of female genital mutilation.

    I believe its a remnant from old Christianity (Judaism?), where it would mark and/or purify the child in some way. If I’m not mistaken, the god of Abraham communicated that things like sacrificing lambs and other rituals isn’t useful as a sign of good will.

    but yet this literally unholy practice remains to this day.

    to be absolutely fair, mom said yes, telling me the doctors said there was some kind of health benefit, somthing about infections.
