In reply to the discussion: Is your penis "mutilated"? [View all]4th law of robotics
(6,801 posts)7. If a womans breasts were removed *against her will* I would describe it as mutilation
if her genitals were surgically altered *without her consent* I would describe it as mutilation.
If there were a religious practice that involve hacking away at a woman's breasts without her consent it would cause a major outcry.
How often on here have you seen support for FGM because it's been practiced forever and it's the families decision?

Funny, but it looks to me that you tacitly agreed already that it is not obsolete.

I am sorry but if you don't believe in 3 independent studies, I can't convince you.

Like a picture of a naked woman on the internet, to some it is apparently the pinnacle of oppression

I have my own views on it, but not to the extent of telling other people what to do.

Sure, even doctors will have different ideas of whether it is medically justifiable.

Wait, I'm confused. Is it the Continental soldier that gets thrown over the shoulder?

I'm strong, but I still don't think it would be ergonomically advisable.
