Wank on FARK.com? I'm shocked!
To think, I was afraid the elevator story would bring wank . . .

A story about female circumcision in Britain is posted on Fark, with the tagline, "Live in Britain and can't seem to find any locals willing to mutilate your daughters? Well, you are in luck. Just fly in some elders from Africa to handle the promiscuity-reducing mutliation." Naturally, people are sicked by the thought that it's still happening, even in the Western world . . . or are for all of two comments. Comparisons are made to male circumcision, and the wank is mighty as farkers fight over whether there are any advantages to being circumsized, if it's equal in magnitude to FGM, and whether or not circumsized guys do have reduced sensitivity.

242 comments later, it's calmed down, but still wanky.

The biggest proponents of female circumcision, in many areas, are the women.

Yes, but why? Because otherwise, the daughter won't get married. Which, in these countries, is a problem for the daughters survival.
Which is why programs against genital mutilation make sure to especially get the guys to listen.

Always these attempts to blame the women only. Always. Silly.

FGM is equivalent to circumcision? Um...I had a whole series of circumcision-related complications, and I still wouldn't call it equivalent even to some of the less severe forms of FGM. The latter makes me cringe and I don't even have the bits in question.

A dire women's health issue endangering thousands of girls a year? Pssh, who cares about that? Let's talk about a tangentially related issue that revolves around MEN! Because we all know that even slight damage to the Almighty Penis is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.

Oy.

I'm so glad that we in America would never, ever, ever circumsise a helpless child.

Except for the part where it was legal here until 1996. Britian wins!

whether or not circumsized guys do have reduced sensitivity

. . . man, anything I could say in response to this would be so TMI it would probably make Ataniell cringe.

So instead I'll point and laugh and say:

I'M IN UR PANTS, CUTTIN UR 4SKINZ!

Wow, poor men. Having reduced sensitivity.

Why, the things that happen to a women when she's been circumsized just fade in comparison to not being able to enjoy sex as much as having a cock entitles you!! OMG!

And, for as long as I can remember, Africa's population of women has been around 50%. The women are just as much responsible for the socialization as men are.

It's not an anti-woman thing.

Shit like this is why I stopped visiting fark. Every single thread there ends up wanky in the extreme and it comes from all sides. I used to be surprised that it didn't end up here more often, but then I realized that if every wanky fark thread was reported, there'd never be room for anything else.

So, yeah. Those're my thoughts on fark.com.

I think we all can agree that forced circumcision is one topic where Jews and Muslims are just as farked up as each other.

That doesn't explain why most American males I know are circumcized. FAIL!

Not that I go around asking but I think at least 80% of my Sex Ed college class raised their hand when the teacher asked.

I read about FGM in Anthropology 101. Imagine you're thirteen, and in the middle of the night you're woken up by a bunch of men and your mother, held down, and with a sharp piece of metal or glass (usually not sterilized) your tender lower bits are sliced off, without anesthetic. Then you're sewn up and your legs are tied together so you can't walk while you're healing. You turn all kinds of colors, you're feverish and you have a 1 in 3 chance of dying of infection. You didn't know this would happen. You don't know why it happened.

After that you have an extremely painful sex life to look forward to, and giving birth has a high chance of killing you, or at least rupturing you so badly that you're incontinent for the rest of your life.

I can't believe anybody could think this is acceptable for any reason whatsoever. A cultural practice like that deserves a painful death.

I had a thought about FGM while I was staring into space at work the other day...

What if we took the most commonly described FGM practice (i.e. the most heinous, usually), pulled it out of its context, and swapped it with something the West considers perfectly acceptable.

A girl gets woken up in the middle of the night and taken to some squalid hut where her older female family members pin her to the dirt floor while an older woman or man with no medical training whatsoever, without administering the least bit of anaesthesia, slices open the skin of her breasts with a piece of unsterilized broken glass or metal, and then inserts something equally horrible under the skin of each breast to make them larger and more shapely. They stitch 'em up with some catgut, wrap her up in towels and rags, and there you have it. Breast augmentation.

On the other hand, a girl somewhere else entirely gets taken by her parents to a clean, well-lit, licensed surgeon's office, is safetly sedated by a trained anaesthesiologist, and has whatever portions of her genitalia carefully altered to whatever cultural criteria apply--safely, with clean scalpels and appropriate sterilization techniques, with attention paid to the preservation of hygienic function and sensation for future marital relations. They send her home with a course of antibiotics, to rest and recuperate with care instructions and conduct follow-up appointments to prevent infection. And then when she gets married, she returns to the office to have the procedure reversed and her sexual function restored so she can enjoy pleasurable congress with her husband and safe delivery of children.

I don't disagree that it's a crappy, misogynist practice which puts the blame on women for promiscuity and pre-marital sex, but if it were done "properly" with modern hygiene and medical practice, would it still seem so heinous and outrageous? If the medical situation were reversed, which practice would we be perfectly okay with and which would we be screaming about?

Totally random and only tangentally related, but one of the reasons that we know haemophilia has been present in humans for a very long time is that there's a verse in the bible that basically says "if a woman's sons all die after you circumcise them, stop circumcising them".

I'm not defending this girl in anyway because I do know that once something has been amputated it's impossible to grow it back again.

But, that said, there are differing levels of FGM. You have the ones with amputation of the clitoris or labia, but there are also ones which leave everything intact and stitch the labia together, leaving a small hole for urine output.

This one is able to be reversed, heck it has to be to ensure safe delivery of babies.

I have had experience of this kind of FGM as I've seen cases of this in this country where the woman has actually asked to be stitched up again after birth, which is causing a lot of issues here obviously.

So, while I'm not defending the other poster at all, there is no comparison to be made between breast augmentation and FGM, there are kinds of mutilation that are reversible.

I'd say that I'm fairly sure I'm going to be ripped a new one for daring to post this but that's a bit dodgy considering the subject.
