Female Circumcision

[BlueEyes71304]

Castration of the male is cutting the balls off, not the penis.
Castration of the female is to remove the ovaries.

I think circumcision as a whole is fucked up shit. If I ever have a son, I'll leave that decision up to him. I'm not going to put the kid through pain just because Americans think that's supposed to be the way things are.

i think female circumcision is fucked up shit.
I saw a program on that and every girl who had it done says its the worse experience of there life.

it interested me, so i spent some hours researching it

idk about the size of a matchstick thing, i guess thats when they hack the female apart.......its sad, but so is the justification of circumcision practise in general, that has been advocated for so many diff reasons to keep convincing people to buy into it....

ooo kk, but still, the size of a match stick! anyway, how do you no so much about this lol?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
thats Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
It Is NOT the what i meant

the equivalent of female foreskin is the clitoral hood
so removing just the clitoral hood would be circumcision but the thing is people confuse the the various things that are done to female genitalia as one thing, FGM, but thats because Female circumcision itself is called mutilation. That confused the fuck out of me for a whle until I realised that.


Definitions of clitoral hood on the Web:

A fibrous covering to the clitoris which is the exact equivalent to the male foreskin, having developed from the same initial tissue structure. Like the male foreskin it can sometimes be too thick or long to retract during sexual excitement and thus can prevent the stimulus to the clitoris needed for orgasm. It can be trimmed or removed by true female circumcision to enable proper stimulation of the clitoris.

In female human anatomy, the clitoral hood, or prepuce, is a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the clitoris. It develops as part of the labia minora and is homologous with the foreskin (prepuce) in male genitals.

i was reading some of those links that headphone sent it says:

As the wounds heal, scar tissue joins the labia and covers the urethra and most of the vaginal orifice, leaving an opening that may be as small as a matchstick for the passage of urine and menstrual blood.

Female circumcision, the partial or total cutting away of the external female genitalia, has been practiced for centuries in parts of Africa, generally as one element of a rite of passage.

but the threads about circumcision not mutilatiion\castrating
stop confusing them

Are you implying Americans circumcise their kids because of medical reasons?

wtf? no you idiot, i was asking a question dickhead, and whoever bad repped me for asking a valid question can fuck off.

i asked if it was only done in certain parts of the world because of religion as i hadnt even heard of it till a few weeks ago, but every1 knows about male circumcision.

this thread has somewhat shifted, but its still good even though i think the intention was to see what people think about haveing their daughters circumsized specificly

The American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement in 1971 declaring
"there are no valid medical indications for circumcision in the neonatal
period." They released a similar statement in 1999, and the rate of U.S.
male circumcision has been in decline since.

There is even an organization, Doctors Opposing Circumcision, consisting of
physicians from around the world, which alleges that routine neonatal male
circumcision is painful, unnecessary and a violation of human rights.

They claim it violates the first tenet of medical practice (do no harm) and
all seven principles of the American Medical Association's code of ethics.
They plan to stop secular circumcision by refusing to perform it
(non-secular circumcision is not usually performed by doctors).

Cancer of the penis is also extremely rare, as are infections under the
foreskin and persistent tight foreskin, which have all been given as medical
bases for preventative circumcision.

Besides, secular circumcision was never intended for hygienic purposes in
the first place. During the latter part of the 19th century, when male
circumcision began in England, it was performed to cure various diseases of
the nervous system (not related to the penis) and to prevent chronic
masturbation, which was thought to lead to diseases such as insanity,
blindness and epilepsy.

Only after the turn of the century, when it was discovered that masturbation
caused none of these things, did the foreskin take the blame for the various
diseases listed above.

The only valid reason left for performing male circumcision, if it's not
required by your religion, is for cosmetic purposes. If we began performing
routine breast implants on teenage girls, there would be an absolute uproar.
And you could use the same argument � aside from a few mess-ups, it
doesn't cause any harm.

So it's all about physical appearance.

Are you implying Americans circumcise their kids because of medical reasons?

i dont understand why male circumcision is okay but female circumcisions grouped in the same catagory as female genital mutilation?
