a lot of women having their first baby get a small downward cut called an "episiotomy" to make labor shorter. But after the severe type of female circumcision, the scar tissue is so bad you have to cut upward too.
that hasn't stopped the PC feminist types from defending the mutilation:
While WHO is working to eradicated FGM, two U.S. OBGYNs in 2016, published a paper in the Journal of Medical Ethics by seeking to destigmatize FGM by calling it “female genital alteration.” They offer a “compromise solution” that would medicalize FGM if states would “legally permit de minimis FGA in recognition of its fulfillment of cultural and religious obligations…”
Why, yes. We ran into this among our Muslim ladies in Liberia.
the custom predates Islam, and Mohammed, knowing he couldn't eliminate the custom, advised to "just cut a little".
In Arab and North African countries. the removal of all external
genitalia (clitoris, labia minora and labia majora) is still done.
but a small clip of the sheath of the clitoris could be substituted without causing problem.
