FGM by definition is the cutting of genital organs for non-medical reasons, usually done at a young age; ranges from partial or total cutting, removal of genitals stitching whether for cultural or non-therapeutic reasons; often undergone several times during life-time, i.e., after delivery or if a girl/woman has been victim of sexual assault.
Many of the women defended their choice as this is apart of their religious belief system. I just can't imagine going through something so painful for the sake of religion. I can't fathom it! Can you even close your eyes and envision what you would go through having your clitoris and labia cut off then to have your va ja ja sewn shut til your maritial commencement? THEN your vagina is only ripped open by the pounding of your husband until he literally 'busts it wide open!' OUCH talk about beats by the pound. It ain't no way on God's green Earth I would eva eva eva sign up for that ish!
I hear child birth is painful enough with the natural vaginal opening and then you're going to sew that mug shut so it makes it even harder to push a baby through it? Geesh!
How do you feel about this type of violence towards women?
