It's also that, it's not necessarily our place to comment upon FGM. The author paints it like this happens to "us", but this is a pretty bad claim; it is never going to be you or me or fortheloveofbeets or the author or almost anyone reading this article and definitely not the vast, vast majority of the commenters…
