What if we Cut Off Your Balls?

I can't even begin to express my disgust about the practice of genital mutilation in young women. It's an age-old practice that involves removing the clitoris in girls as young as 7, and is very common in some Middle Eastern and African countries and often within Muslim communities--though not condoned by the Muslim religion. "Female circumcision" is practiced to remove sexual desire and discourage homosexuality in women.

In Egypt, a whopping 96 percent of married, divorced or widowed women have undergone the procedure, according to a 2005 government health survey.
Just this summer, two Egyptian girls have died as a result of complications during circumcision procedures, which are conducted at clinics, barbershops, kind of anywhere.

Fueled by instances like these (and a delayed realization that it's fucking 2007) the Egyptian government has partnered with activists and religious organizations to kickstart a nationwide campaign fighting to stop the practice. The Egyptian government is also working hard on a comprehensive, loophole-free ban on the practice.

But still genetic mutilation continues, routinely, regularly, contentiously. Guess you can't mess with tradition.
