Answer 1

It's female circumcision. Yes it does happen.

Well some are removed, and others are sliced, diced and sewn up.  Either way, it screws the girl over. some can be reversed if the girl is lucky.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Yes,female circumcison.Girls are mutilated,even at a very young age,because the men don't want them to have any sexual desire,thus preserving their chastity.Google it,you'll get a real education.It's horrifying.

Answer 4

Yes, it is true. It's called female genital mutilation and it is practiced around the world. The practice is done to prevent women from having orgasms and therefore not becoming adulterers or s*x addicts etc...The UN and other organizations are constantly trying to stop it from happening but it still happens. And also in some countries if a woman gets raped she is killed. The world is a scary place for women I love being in America. Oh lovely lovely America. I am truly lucky.

Below are just a handful of the sites that discuss this issue.

Answer 5

It's called female genital mutilation. The principle of it is, women should not experience sexual pleasure. The horrifying surgery is sometimes used with very crude instruments; a piece of glass, a razorblade. Female genital mutilation was recently banned in Egypt after a little girl died. Countless other little girls died before it was banned. It is practiced in Muslim Africa, the middle east, and Indonesia.

Sometimes girls as young as 5 are forced into the surgery.

Female genital mutilation causes a great deal of emotional suffering for the victim, and the physical implications are worse than that. Women who have the procedure suffer their whole lives.

Parents who have their daughters mutilated should be given the death penalty.

Answer 10

It's called female circumcision or genital mutilation .... It is commonly performed in countries in Africa&Asia.. It is used as a way of making sure women won't cheat on their husbands ... because when the clitoris is removed the woman will not enjoy s*x.  It is a barbaric way of controlling women.

Answer 11

There are societies that practice female circumcision, but I have always understood that it is a woman who performs the operation, not a man.  There are African countries where this is common practice.

Answer 12

It's called FGM or "Female Genital Mutilation."

The clitoris is the only part of a human body whose only function is pleasure. Certain people in certain societies found that discovery quite threatening. It evolved into a "rite of passage" for girls that is now forced upon them mostly by other women.  (Unaltered females are likely to be seen as perpetual children.)

A woman who cannot enjoy s*x is seen as less likely to stray, easier to control, and more convenient property.

The mutilation is often carried out using broken glass, a tin lid, or scissors as the cutting instrument. Anesthetic is not used.

The procedure varies in degrees of severity. Sometimes the clitoris alone is removed, other times, the clitoris and the labia minora are removed, and the labia majora stitched together to form a cover over the v****a as they heal. A small opening is left to allow urine and menstrual fluid to escape.

Short-term complications include severe pain and a risk of hemorrhaging leading to shock and death. There is also a very high risk for local and systemic infections, with documented reports of abscesses, ulcers, delayed healing, septicemia, tetanus, and gangrene.

Long-term complications include urine retention resulting in repeated urinary infections; obstruction of menstrual flow leading to frequent reproductive tract infections and infertility; and prolonged and obstructed labor which often kills the mother, the child or both.

Answer 13

Yep, it is, but rather than tackling that issue, which would be difficult, it seems more important to encourage western women to divorce their husbands because of obscure issues such as not having their "emotional needs" met, or because he doesn't do a good enough job folding and hanging laundry and the pots and pans sometimes have spots on them when they come out of the dishwasher.  And because he didn't spend enough time with the kids, which puzzles him when he gets them ready for school, takes them to tennis, plays with them at the park, helps them with their homework, gets them to brush their teeth and take a bath and gets them off to bed at night.
