Female Genital Mutilation FGM in the third world shit hole cultures is done by older women on young females. Women have the mixed blessing of being cultural continuers. It can be good when it is done in the name of wholesome holidays but in the case of FGM it is a nightmare.
The question here is if this is going to be some kind of cultural condition. I really want to say no but when you see women like this one backing the insanity of mutilation of their own child it makes you decide what kind of cultural future you want to have.
And by "make" I mean you better make up your damn mind now about what to do about this because otherwise we know how this can end up.
The only similar practice that comes to mind that was eliminated (as far as I know) was Chinese footbinding. From what I gather, there were two forces that made the change. One was Christian missionaries who called the practice barbaric and noted that other countries thought less of China for engaging in the practice. The other was Chinese reformers, who pointed out the benefits of women not binding their feet (better health, more able to work).
Unfortunately, I don't see how this model could work for transitioning. In their mind, anyone who takes issue with the practice is an ignorant rube at best and more likely a hateful bigot. Those who point out any health risks are ignored.
