I understand him in a way...

There are different degrees of mutilation, and in Somalia, its as extreme as it gets. They sew girls up until there is a tiny hole. I won’t go into more detail, its horrifying. But to give you an idea of how brainwashed the populace is, when Amanda Lindhout was abducted in Somalia, one of her rapists, before he raped…

I did research on this for a college project. In my home state there were dozens of cases of Doctors getting women to sign consent forms (when they had no idea what they were signing) and sterilizing them ‘for their own good’. The whole situation is fucked.

The reason people practice female genital cutting is because they have always practiced female genital cutting. That’s all really. It’s a social norm and they love their daughters and want them to be normal.

In short, yes. I (vaguely) know a woman who lived in Somalia for some time doing midwifery and the prevailing FGM practice there is appalling.

Obamacare literally saved my life. I couldn’t have gotten the diagnostic tests & surgery to remove my cancer without it.

Fun Fact! My insurance JUST tried to screw me on this. For the first time since ACA I went to pick up my Depo and it wasn’t $0. I pleasantly explained to the tech that it can’t be because it’s BC. She looks it up, and my insurance tried to classify it as a 30 day dose which was off label so they could charge me. She…

Hmm... did you get the bonus flag power-up?

Dude, I’m African. From a country where FGM has been banned but is still practiced.

Egypt banned it ages ago but 94% of women there have undergone the procedure. To say Africa is decades behind when it comes to women’s health and gender attitudes is the understatement of the century. Without getting too specific, I work at the United Nations and as a regional group they oppose any language that would…

Here’s an idea: let’s ban ALL mutilation, full stop. Let’s also ban whiny MRAs with shit for brains who have to inject themselves into every goddamn conversation about fucking anything.

Totally. Banning something and actually stopping it from happening are two very different things.

The next question: how well will this be enforced? A top level ban is great but there’s still some hearts-and-minds work before real change takes place.

Riiiiiiight. The thread is there for everyone to see, dude. Declaring victory generally means you lost badly, FYI.

Hou-ee! You sure done caught yourself a live one there. Lookit it squirm!

Hmm... when someone beats me to an obvious joke, I edit mine out. But we posted at the same minute. What to do, what to do... degrey and cool Obama pic? Degrey and cool Obama pic.

Why can’t we just make (hopefully) White Babies™ and die quietly of hoo-hah cancer as God™ intended?!

Thanks, Obama. No. Seriously.

COMMUNISM IS INFECTING OUR BREEDING STOCK

If Carly had seen the video of men in aprons standing around the carcass of a Turkey and harvesting its organs to be made into gravy....
