There is no benefit to this awful mutilation. It is the practice of removing a girl’s clitoral hood, clitoris, and/or the labia; often called female genital mutilation. This is practiced in some African, Near & Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cultures.
It is outlawed in western civilization. Personally, I'd rather be dead than have this happen to me.

There is no benefit for female or male circumcision. Both are just done for cultural or religious reasons and because the people who believe in them buy into all the myths that surround the procedures.
Now if a GROWN woman wants to have her clitoris and labia cut off and her vaginal opening sewn, more power to her. But the fact that some counties allow this to be done to a minor female without her consent is horrible! It needs to be outlawed but even then, I suspect it would be done still in secret.
Many women die from infections because of circumcision and many more suffer painful sex and infections throughout their life.

The main reasons for circumcision can be categorized into four most common social justifications, and one financial:
1. The custom and tradition of becoming a woman involves this "rite of passage" from childhood to adulthood (ensuring she is good marriage material);
2. The need to control women's sexuality (virginity, morality and marriageability);
3. A cultural practice that sometimes has a religious identification (a female's honor is a reflection on her entire family, and believing it is God's will);
4. Social conformity to the community
5. FGC is a primary source of income for many midwives/practitioners, who propagate the practice.

Read Alice Walker's book, "The Temple of My Familiar." In this book you will learn all that you care to about the painfully barbaric practise of female mutiliation.It is a practice built around men's desire to control female sexuality.
Compare this to the crimes commited by Lorena Bobbitt against her husband to get an idea.
It is interesting to see that if one man is sexually mutilated by his wife, then there's international uproar. On the other hand, the mutilation of groups of women is socially acceptable in some countries. Go figure.

Although there are no advantages from either male or female circumcision, Female is significantly more brutal, desensitizing, and dangerous

That is known as MUTALATION and is only rarely practised anymore by certain culyures in Africa. (Apparently they didn;t want females to experience any pleasure from sex at all. There is NO advantage to it - it;s a barbaric thing to do.)

It is supposed to hurt like mad and will stop the woman having babies. It is also illegal for that reason and will only be performed in a foreign black market. Trust me it isn't the best of ideas.

No. woman genital mutilation is easily worse because of the fact it thoroughly gets rid of a woman's clitoris and forestalls the girl from ever attaining an orgasm. Circumcised adult males can nonetheless get an orgasm even nevertheless a number of the foreskin is bumped off. So woman circumcision in user-friendly terms advantages adult males in controlling their women individuals by skill of proscribing the exhilaration a woman can get out of intercourse. for my section i do no longer guard male circumcision the two. i hit upon it a barbaric prepare because of the fact it became designed to shrink sexual exhilaration for the two men and ladies individuals. a guy's penis became meant by skill of God or nature or regardless of to have a foreskin. i do no longer purchase the hygiene argument because of the fact all a guy has to do is sparkling the section below the bathe as quickly as an afternoon to sidestep smegma (we don't stay interior the ******* barren area anymore). A circumcised penis is greater like a battering ram to a girl wherein the uncovered glans finally ends up scraping the partitions of her vagina and her urinary tract. All you women individuals that be stricken by urinary yeast infections - now you comprehend why. loopy solar stroked rabbis got here up with this thought so as that men and ladies individuals does no longer be as dependable to a minimum of one yet another as they have been to their religious leaders. Afterthought: i did no longer comprehend that woman Genital Mutilation had various tiers to it because of the fact that i did no longer examine the posts of others. The confusion for me became due precisely to thoughts of this phenomenon in different worldwide places by skill of our media for example of cruelty to women individuals. From what I bear in mind seeing, it became often the case that they portrayed an entire clitorectomy as FGM. in many situations the main brutal ones carried out in Africa with instruments mutually with a rusty tin can lid.

The practice is done by some primitive peoples . . .
There are no medical benefits, it is not like male circumcision.
The female one is done to young girls so sex will always be unpleasant and they will not be promiscuous.
It is strictly a social control thing, but since it is usually done while holding the child down , and she is cut with broken glass, there are often infections.
Some also burn the girl child's breasts with hot rocks to make them sexually non functional also.
