I think it’s incredibly important that Western feminists with no connection to the cultures where this is practiced don’t dominate the conversation

This American Life recently did an episode that featured the story of a woman who was circumcised as a child. It’s really wonderful and worth a listen: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives…

FGM is without a doubt wrong and unacceptable and should be outlawed. But, on the other hand, much like abortion* if it becomes illegal that doesn’t mean everyone will stop doing it — it means when it is done it will be in back alleys with unclean equipment. I don’t have an alternative, I just worry about what this…

Please don’t use the word “circumcised” - it’s the word they want you to use to disguise that this is in no way related to male circumcision.

If the parents are immune from consequences, this will never stop.

“This is part of the tragedy,” Abdel-Samee said. “May god give her the strength to overcome the passing of her daughter but this is another issue.

Bobby please just write a book of these celebrity conversations. I would buy all the copies and gift them to everyone I know.

Sadly, I think by coming out and accusing him of abuse (even though she has proof) she has already ruined her career. And I don’t get why he’s so beloved. He hasn’t been in a good movie since Finding Neverland in 2004 and the majority of his movies over the last 6 years have been outright bombs. But as we all know,…

I hope Heard goes nuclear and just releases everything. Likely it’ll end both their careers but at least the truth will be out there.

Oh, look, more evidence of Amber’s abuse people won’t admit as legit because they think Gone Girl is the most common scenario in society, instead of an entitled angry addict becoming violent towards a woman. Now it makes sense why she was carrying her laptop while leaving her lawyer’s office. Wonder who will get the…

Wouldn’t be surprised if they did. Truly, I find it remarkable that the Kardashian family functions as well as they do, psychologically. I once had a personal blog with a decent-ish following, and once the lines between what I was doing for clicks, and what I was doing because I just wanted to became blurred, I had to…

I hope you’re referring to him considering her net worth is higher.

Same. And whether it uses FX.

No one asked for this, but here’s a desktop background version.

I also like the “it’s gotten very quiet in here” line. Calling out the cowardice of Hollywood.

The number of people who have no fucks to give for Allen’s behaviour really amplifies the horror of his behaviour.

Yes, but it’s maple syrup instead of coconut oil.
