Amazing. Imagine if a man had said that about mutilating his wife's genitals if she were unfaithful. He would be labeled a misogynist and run out of town. But when a woman says that, it's acceptable.

By the way, Lorena Bobbett got acquitted.

Old-man whitey is getting fucked over ... again!

Derec

So you don't see a blatant double standard here?

TollHouse

Not at all, didn't you hear me? Old-man whitey is getting fucked!

Is there any justice at all in the world? If only someone would make it their sacred duty to win back the world for the white man!

If only white men had some type of political or economic power to stop this. If only they had the power to pass laws to stop it. If the media outlets were actually owned and operated by white men, then maybe they could do something. It is a damn shame.

Like they ever lost it.

So being white gives one political power.

The strange thing is, the last time I asked these people to bend their white fists of steel for me on the behalf of the white race, they didn't know who the fucking hell I even was. The hell? What kind of service is that? To hear you say it, I'm fucking entitled. After all, I'm white!

.....this game is stupid. Could somebody respond to derec's point? anybody?

Hell must have just frozen over because I agree with Derec on this one. I know that I'll smirk at a Lorena Bobbit joke in a way that I wouldn't if it was a joke about female genital mutilation and I think that a lot of other people will too. Maybe the difference is that FGM is culturally accepted and not illegal in some places, whereas wacking off a guy's penis is always a crime. But technically I agree with Derec that it's reverse sexism to see them differently.

But stop whining and get over it

Actually male genital mutilation (circumcision) is legal in most of the world.

Is FGM legal for adult women? I know among young girls in some african countries its legal but even there is it practiced on adults?

Christina Mirabilis

There's already another topic on this subject going on, but although I think that neither should be done without a person's consent I would equate FGM more with removing the head of your penis altogether in terms of severity.

I'm not sure if it's legal to practice on adults anywhere, but in many places what's legal has little to do with the treatment of women and girls. This article from the Royal College of Nursing refers to young women and mothers, so I don't think it's unheard of.
