I feel perfectly okay criticizing female genital mutilation, regardless of which culture happens to practice it.

I would love to see more articles like this on Jezebel. Thank you.

Who are the heartless?

I hope the mother gets some help now, but even more so I hope the little girl is well looked after and happy. Thanks for the update, Rebecca.
