Female Genital Mutilation is seen as a human rights violation and is currently seen negatively in most, if not all, of modern nations.

Male Genital Mutilation should be viewed in the same fashion.

agreed.



what is the origins of circumcisions? as i understand, it was a jewish practice to prevent boys from masturbating ("too much") which later became part of tradition rather than practical application.

[Gatekeeper777]

the female clitoris has over 10,000 nerve endings the male penis uncut has 8000 when circumsised about 6000 are cut away.
Your choice better sex or no fromunder cheese.

nope i'm not, and i'm kind of glad.
I'll leave body modification up to the individual...i'm not going to decide for someone else.

This came up a lot in my anthropology track. As I understand it, the practice first came into being (with a number of different tribes in fact) as a method to prove one's mettle in battle: foreskins were taken as trophies. I know right? Yuck, but then I guess it's hard to fit 2 dozen heads in a belt pouch right? Heh.
I've read re-prints of translations where *ahem* 'captured' foreskins of one's enemies were even used as a medium in dowries, bounties, etc.
At some point the Torah's authors wanted to convey a method for clean living among 'God's Chosen,' hence the dietary considerations which just happen to fit nicely with the environment. The dreaded and so eloquent 'dick cheese' comment made earlier in the thread would carry far more gravity in a time and place without antibiotics and health advice worth a damn. Back then when a bodily condition 'got out of hand,' you just died. Kinda like uncooled pork in the hot Palestine sun. Trichinosis = you die.


Anyway, while I admire the notion of letting nature run the show, I think the procedure is a good call and I for one am happy to have had it done. Went to a British school when I was a kid living overseas, and was on the swim team. Nuff said.
In college I had a lot of female buds, I can't tell you how many gross foreskin stories I've heard. Being a top-hat means the fisherman is at more risk of developing a bacteria overgrowth (i.e. yeast infection) and he would also be more apt to hold onto something he got from that exchange betty from Denmark. *cough*


I think comparing female genital mutilation to male circumcision is kinda... well, stupid. The only purpose of removing a clitoris is to deny a female future sexual pleasure. I could creatively elaborate on what I think it does for the adults who allow it to happen, but I don't have that kinda time.

When a male gets circumcised, he enjoys relatively low-maintenance tackle, not freaking out chicks, and that crazy ability to still feel sex.

Seems like a pretty easy distinction to me.



For the ladies that have sounded off on this topic, I'm just curious - how do you view the piercing of newborn daughters ears?

Also, I hear labia surgery is all the rage. Are women defiling themselves when they uh, adjust the bits n pieces? I realize that it's not a procedure done to infants, like I said I'm just curious.

Well, you get to decide if it's your son... :rasta:

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]
