FGM exists so slavery doesn't look so bad now. Is that your point?

You know who talks about white guilt? White people. Why can't we just help the people who very obviously got hosed and are very obviously continuing to get hosed to this day? Why do we have to talk about how it makes white people feel bad? I know white feelings are the most important feelings but it has the appearance of being pretty selfish.

White people's sin was getting tech and civics advantages that let them do it on a bigger scale than others (though some pre industrials did it pretty good - islamic invaders killed almost 100 million indians over several centuries and sword of islam timur the lane killed 17 million in the 14th century - 5% of the world's population at any given time back then - gently caress me the world would suck if they'd gotten the kind of lead the West did).

Their other sin was growing serious consciences to tell them they were doing bad things and knock it off. Silly move from a Darwinian perspective imo.

You are reading something that isn't there friend. It seems like maybe you are bringing your own load to my words. I haven't made any generalizations about white people so you haven't caught me being fragrantly racist.

Let me try again although I don't believe you are willing to listen.

When the discussion of the effects of racism pops up in the US it is difficult to discuss the harm visited on black people and other minorities without some people of a certain group taking great offense as though the point is to make them feel bad. That discussion about how feelings get hurt becomes more important than the actual harm and injustices that continue to be done.

Keep telling yourself that your parents did the right thing when they told the doctor to slice bits from your genitals.

Please don't say that removal of the foreskin in male circumsision is equivalent to fgm that often involved slicing the clitorous off and cutting away the external labia and forcing the wound to heal up and scar together forming a tight drum like wall of scar tissue instead of a normal vaginally opening that has to be forcibly torn through during the woman's first intercourse and typically renders her incapable of experience g sexual pleasure

Daily reminder compulsory castration stopped being a thing centuries ago but fgm is still around because "its culture"

Reminder culture is just entertainment at its base level and isn't worthy of being protected, especially if it involves crippling another human.

"Hey you can't force feed that man thorazine"
"But its our culture!"
"Thats no excuse!"
"But weve been doing this for ten thousand years! Everybody knows if something has been around longer than 500 years it is to be respected no matter how stupid and harmful. Also we have a history of being dehumanized which is totally relevant."
"Well I cant argue with that! Carry on!"

it's not a rhetorical question, for politely saying 'you are an idiot, you don't know what you are talking about'


None of the people who perform fgm are forums posters, I'll tell you that much. A goon, touching a vagina? Never gonna happen.
