does that mean "either" shes lying because she was circumcised in the recent years or shes telling the truth because you dont get circumcised as a baby.

Answer 1

This topic drives me up the wall, because people insist on confusing female castration with female circumcision, and women who should know better let the terms get confused so that men don't realize the difference.

Female circumcision is the same idea as male circumcision with the same results: enhancement of sexual arousal by removing a layer of skin from the most sensitive area so that it can be more easily and readily stimulated. With men, it's the removal of the foreskin, with women it's the removal of part of the "hood" covering the clitoris. I believe with women, it's done solely for the purpose of enhancing arousal, not for any other reason, and it's only something a mature woman would elect to do. With men, there are either tribal/religious reasons, in which case it's usually done in infancy, or hygiene reasons, in which case it can be done at any age.

Female castration is the removal of the clitoris, comparable to severing the end third of a man's penis. It's done almost always at puberty, and only for tribal reasons, and only to greatly reduce the woman's ability to become aroused, so she's only likely to have sex when a man initiates it. It's especially barbaric and grisly because it's generally done without any anesthetic, against the girl's will, and at an age when she knows what she's losing.

What baffles me is how inteligent women who are allegedly against the practice can't get it through their heads that calling it "circumcision" makes men think of benign male circumcision, and so men don't understand why women are so upset about it, especially since 9 out of 10 men don't even know what a clitoris is or does.

The most upsetting image I've ever seen was a picture in "Life" magazine several years ago of a witch doctor cutting out a young girl's clitoris while he and the mother laughed and the poor girl was screaming in agony. Personally, I hope all the perpetrators burn in hell for all time.

I do not know where you're from, but in western culture (Europe, America, Canada, etc), girls are NEVER circumcised!

The human rights group, Amnesty International, as well as the World Health Organization consider it genital mutilation. It does not serve any medical purpose and can actually damage the sensitive clitoris underneath.

Girls are circumcised at puberty as a rite of passage to womanhood. The pain they undoubtedly experience is part of the ritual. Allegedly, the intent is to try to keep women from enjoying sex, so that they remain chaste and moral. Unfortunately, it is still widely practiced in Africa and some muslim countries in the middle east.
