mahadi Posted January 20, 2003 Personally being a man I can never understand this practice. It sounds horrible, but I also cannot agree with the traditional discourse on the subject from people like Alice Walker. FGM, as it is called now has been practiced in this country by middle class white folks as recently as the 50's and 60's. Currently, it is used mainly as a method to prove the inferiority of the practices of other cultures. This is a critique of the issue of FGM, not the act. The act is something I would never consider for my children, but despite my first reaction I cannot condemn others. We only hope to educate them so that they might make a more informed decision. And if they are determined to continue provide a safe method for doing so. This could prevent death related from the process, much like abortion in this country only a few decades ago. For OG_Moti, I think you misunderstand the term culture. Your examples are all flawed. Latinos, Arabs, Indians, etc. are hardly uniform cultures. Cultures change continually that is their nature. Also, in a patriarchal society, women don't complain because it can get them in trouble. That is not a good measure of any issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
