Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting

Are you aware of this practice where older women hold down the young girls, cut off their clitorises using glass?  This is done so that women will not be interested in sex.  Otherwise, men may be enticed by females to rape them, as men cannot be expected to have discipline.  Also the reason that women must wear dark colored burkquas despite soaring temperatures of over 100 degrees. Religions have instituted this practice to help men overcome their lust.

I know, some of you are laughing so much, you will wet your panties, or cry with sadness.

According to the United Nations, each year, around three million girls and women - some 8,000 GIRLS EACH DAY - face the risk of mutilation or cutting.  An estimated 130 million girls and women have undergone the practice in Muslim countries.

Were you aware of this practice?  How would you feel about having eight women sit on you and cut off your clitoris without anesthetic?

Why I write this blog is to create some awareness of female inequality?  Please write some comments and if you have undergone this procedure yourself please let us understand the other side of this issue.
