not for the faint of heart

circumcision… are your knees giving you trouble? sorry, perhaps you should sit down. you are? of course. images of male babies and scalpels, young boys and barmitzfas, whatever the first thing that sprang to mind that caused you to cross your legs, i'll bet your left gonad/gonita it wasn't a woman. certainly not a woman writhing in pain bleeding to death under a tree in the middle of a desert.

female circumcision… (give a nickel to know what that conjured up)
hmm, female circumcision. probably not as harsh as male circumcision yah? um…
start by squeezing your female genitalia between two very unsanitary sharpened rocks or steel and scraping away until the most sensitive soft parts peel off. don't forget the little button.
feel a little numb? that's the general idea.

ok, now sew the remaining damaged flesh together, with fabric thread. make sure to leave an opening though, just large enough to pee. no bigger, or what's the point really.
to be fair, apparently there are some "doctors" who are able to perform this procedure in a much more humane manner. how, escapes me entirely but hey, uncle Jack only lived past his cancer expiration date because of the vodka so what do I know. did i mention no anaesthetic...

female circumcision is common among Muslim as well as Christian families in Egypt and African countries, as a "rite of passage" and a way of protecting the girls' chastity. yup, that'd about do it for me. chastity belts, chaperones, shark cages, anything! come on people
and come their virginal too small for anything but immaculate conception wedding night? geezus criminy!

once they heal… (hold on, got to go open a window) they're allowed to remain in whatever condition that glorious first night's left them, that is, until the birth of their first child when they're sewn up eensy weensy once again.
ok we're done... almost

some good news.
Egypt has just passed a law stating that compulsory female circumcision is now "officially" and legally outlawed. however, questionable timing for the present 90 % of Egyptian women who've already been circumcised

moot or hooey?

the clitoris is the only organ on the human body that's sole purpose is pleasure
