How I Survived Female Genital Mutilation 

IKR!

AGREE

Uhm yea I don't condone circumcision but this procedure LITERALLY MEANS CUTTING OF THE LABIA, CLITORIS AND SEWING THE VAGINA SHUT. It can't be compared

There are more that two genders jkjkjkjkjk

majskolvish EXACTLY! Some people need to understand that not everything is about them.

wow..

I agree but it's really not

This is not at all like removing the entire penis

They cut off the clitoris, and labia then sew it shut. Yes it is.

true that

I agree but not childhood innocence isn’t dangerous, it’s people willing to exploit it

Ikr it's so sad :(

The fact they called her the girl with three legs is heartbreaking, that means the adults we’re talking about a little girl and her body, I can’t even

It’s come to North America again. Even here in Canada. And we’re not allowed to talk about it

That, and the bill M-103 make it illegal to say anything negative about Muslims. Fines and jail time.

Then you need to go and actually fact check this. In Muslim culture as well as in Africa, FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) is normal. Seen as a right of passage into womanhood and since the woman is worth less than the male in that culture, she doesn't need to feel pleasure. I'm saying both places practice this. You may want to look into what someone says before jumping on the idea that a different view point makes someone an idiot. Here, maybe you'll believe the Wiki. "Female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female genital cutting and female circumcision, is the ritual cutting or removal of some or all of the external female genitalia. The practice is found in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and within communities from countries in which FGM is common. UNICEF estimated in 2016 that 200 million women living today in 30 countries-27 African countries, Indonesia, Iraqi Kurdistan and Yemen-have undergone the procedures.[3]"

Then why does it say, We will mount (conquer) the world, either through violence or through the womb? That doesn't sound peaceful to me. In the 1970's, Afghanistan dressed like they do here in North America. Then Islam came in, and started showing up with Sharia Law and taking control. I know we are not going to agree on anything here. Even with my buddy Mohammed here telling me he escaped Lebanon with his family to get away from the "peace" you keep talking about. He didn't want his daughter going through FGM like his wife was forced to because of the religion. So I'm just going to leave it. You can live your life and I'll live mine. I'm sorry we couldn't have an actual conversation without having to throw around insults. I leave you with, We shall agree to disagree.

Infidels 'Я' Us Well it's obvious you haven't even read the Qur'an fgm has nothing to do with Islam there is no mention of fgm in the Qur'an. Fgm is ancient African Custom, practiced by Christians, animist, and Muslims on the Continent of Africa. Muslim Countries have Criminalized the Practice but Christian African Countries such as Ethiopia and Kenya have not. Your confused with culture and religion. The vast majority of Muslims do not practice fgm www.reviewofreligions.org/11450/fgm-not-in-the-name-of-islam/ Nice try tho

Same...

:(

@Potato Queen , y u take my name???

:(((((

:(

maria deng um no i lived in africa for more than half my life. it doesnt happen everywhere so dont make it sound like it does. please dont think africa is a bad place.

+maria deng it's nowhere nearly as simple as that. most of the time the vaginal hole is stitched up and the clit is removed. Once the girl is married it is unstitched or the husband forcefully breaks it, no doctor can replace a clit once removed that's like trying to sew foreskin back on.

Frik Frak that was just my opinion in how i saw it

That's insane and horrible......this needs to stop

I would never do that

Castrated MEN TO BECOME MEN!

@Pure Vaginatarian it would take sexual pleasure away from them so they can't have orgasms

Linda Gill it doesn’t take their ability to orgasm away not the same thing

@@user-gz4go9hu5b what

U'd think...

Jacob Khan The clit has more sensation than the foreskin and the sole purpose of female mutilation was to remove almost all sensation so the female would stay a virgin until marriage.

What about male circumcision?

They doing this in the UK? Just sad

Galaxy 07 a penis is still functional after circumcision, after actual fgm or mgm, the genitals are not functional.

Lily Queen exactly I'll never put my children through this for the people involved they all need LIFE

No they aren't. Your womanhood isn't dependent upon an intact vagina. Of course I agree that "becoming a woman" is totally wrong, they're just chopping off parts of her.

+Meowphistopheles I don't need you analyzing my comment THAT DEEPLY. I just meant that its kinda ironic that they call it "becoming a woman" when there taking away part of her womanhood.

Luna Fair.

+Meowphistopheles :)

Shes still a woman, just one part that makes it visible to others is gone

Circumcision is still a horrible act and is very wrong

No it's not ^

Ya because mutilating your child's penis/vagina is obviously a great thing for a person to do! ( sarcasm) Both MGM and FGM can be equally grotesque depending on the situation.

+Patrick Sweeney Yeah, okay, buddy. Stop playing the "men have it worse card!" card. Genital mutilation is wrong, period.

difference between female circumcision and male circumcision. Male circumcision is LEGAL, while female circumcision is ILLEGAL. That is the issue leHungry, it's a double standard.

I’m glad that you’re okay💞💞stay strong 😘

maandeeq Mohamed I’m so happy ur okay ♥️♥️

Glad you are okay ❤️

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm glad you survived. ❤️

Bless your heart. Your daughter's have beautiful and strong mother who loves them very much.

that's four words, lol seriouly i agree, it's horrendous.

oh sorry i just noticed "the 4 words" now 😂😂😂. imma edit it thank you

Correction: *this practice MUST stop

Truth.and nothing but the truth.

Must stop

i agree n of course male circumcision is wrong but definitely not nearly as bad.

NOOO. What do you mean "thank you to the men"? there's nothing to be thankful for, men are the reason patriarchy exists and the reason women are mutilated, because apparently they are not allowed to feel pleasure like men do. We have to be thankful to the women who were strong enough to go trough this and still fight against misogyny, we have to thank this woman in the video, who is talking about the issue, sharing her story. We dont need to be thankful to men, they are not doing us any favor by being "understanding". A wonderful video about a empowered black woman talking about her fight and we still feel the need to thank men??? This is OUR fight. ALL PROTAGONISM FOR WOMEN

Manuela Andrade your right i'm just tired of the comments saying "male circumcision and FGM is equally bad" obviously only butthurt men would say that so i appreciate the men that can see past the bs. But yeah i agree with you.

no one is saying this is the fault of men, saying it needs to be stopped

i get where you're coming from, but men not understanding and denying the weight of women's issues and turning it into "well it happens to men too" is a huge part of the problem. Having them empathize with women and acknowledge their struggles is important. and while I don't think they should be thanked for doing what they should be doing already, to say that their understanding isn't doing us any favors i just don't think is true

maybe, maybe not. for different reasons. its good to look up to people whether its athletes, models, singers ect. to have motivation. this woman is empowering for a different reason.

stop comparing women. whoever are interested in makeup and fashion can look up to kardashians businesses and someone who wants to help charity for fgm can look up to her. i can look up to both - role models are everywhere for anything.

Stop comparing women. Putting other women down is not empowering nor helpful.

Stop comparing women. #spreadgirllove

ikr

200 million women suffered this

Same here. I am in ABSOLUTE SHOCK! 😨😭🙈

D .

nikon12x42 They are both bad but for women it’s just worse. Sorry but thats the truth.

nikon12x42 You don’t see a difference in removing a piece of skin and removing the pleasure point for women, slicing away the labium and sewing the vagina close? Do you see it now or do you need some glasses? Something like being circumcised as a baby can’t give you a mental trauma, like you said they don’t remeber it. Physical maybe, while I know a lot of guys whom are circumcised and don’t have any problems at all.

nikon12x42 They are both wrong agreed but the reason not to talk about circumcision on a FGM video is because it totally different. You don’t go talking about cats on a dog video. The amount of disrespect you must have to completly disregard the woman in this video to talk about a different issue. Why even watch this video if you ever going to talk about something else? Go watch a circumcision video, how hard is it?

nikon12x42 Losing an ear and losing a leg are both very painful but one is clearly worse than the other. You can actually still use your ear if the outside is gone, how are you going to use your leg if it’s removed from your body?

finally a nice caring comment

you can say that again

is this means taking out the vagina?

no, it means removing the clitoris.

There are clubs that are trying to educate people on how dangerous this is, a club that I am in is trying to deal with this topic currently.

religious people? God? pick one

It's more to do with culture not religion. it's actually against my religion.

Sadly it is still practiced. Vice (their channel name on RU-vid) did a documentary on a young lady who had this done when she was a child. Take a look at it.

happens to dudes all the time

What sick person still uses emojis...

Hayley X O X O me omg I feel so uncomfortable just listening to thsi

I know right! It pisses me off so much :/

No you wouldn’t, but if the comment section was riddled by men who were saying that all prostate cancer is worse than all breast cancer, then there would be a lot of women commenting

Min chen maybe because mgm is still done to milions of babys, everyone think it's good and it's 80% of how bad fgm is?

Chappie Not everybody thinks it’s “good”, but you can’t compare it to fgm.

Justin Seagull you can compare it to FGM. Genital mutilation is gender neutral. There are different forms of genital mutilation (from pricking the glans to full removal of external genitalia), and it is that way for both males and females

How could you say that? It's painful, degrading, awful, and barbaric. You are literally taking away her womanhood and somehow making up for it by saying that you're journeying into womanhood. You are sickening

How so?

Birbiri Bu I'm sorry, I was talking to TYLER ARTIST

TYLER ARTIST there is 100% positively no need for that brutal procedure in this world

I was genitally mutilated. Do you care about that? Or do I have to have a vagina to be worth your compassion?

What about MGM ?

The Metro, they're just commenting on fgm because that's more relevant to the video

*No empathy for the victims of male genital mutilation. Never mind that the victims of MGM are more numerous, and most of them were mutilated in your own back yard (in your own society).*

@Bell Olli MGM has x5 as many victims than FGM. Not minimizing FGM but the narrative needs to shift to emphasizing how both are harmful *not just one

Except both are awful male circumcision can be deadly and lead to medical problems So both are just as barbaric and we shouldn't force either onto people

My friend was circumcised and he has pain there almost constantly because they ruined his nerves

They*

There is a very small degree of similarity but it's no where near enough that you can say the two things are "the same"

nope its they're

Are you stupid? It's like if it's talking about how bad people that cut cat's tail are but everyone cuts dog's tail, of course people are gonna complain.

not really, went to a MGM video and no girl was talking about how FGM wasnt mentioned. its obvious both are bad, but this is about FGM, not MGM the same way a video about cats' tails isnt about dogs' tails. if there is a vid about a clothing shop getting robbed does that mean robbing any other shop is ok? of course not

@@waifu_png_pl6854 but the fact is that most of the people thinks mgm is just fine. And that makes a lot of boys so mad. Also when a man have this done he doesn't gets any of these attentions, but he should cause it shouldn't be normal to mutilate guys. As much as people support this girl they should be supporting guys who get mutilated, but no one cares at all. (by the way I'm not even circumcised and I feel bad too, for both men and women)

wow so many w's in one sentence! lol

I admire you for realising that

Makes me appreciate how lucky I am

Helga why do I see you in every comment section I see? 🤣😂

actually no, infact when you're *in the tummy* you are a woman, just not out of the womb yet.

@@compactcontent1150 No, that's called a fetus lmao.

Hmmm... it's more like after you mature and go through puberty. Before that you're a child/girl.

Well you just said not a single female in your family did it but you just said your grandmother was forced to do it

Yh same its usually among the rural tribes that did it and my mom grew up in the city where it was becoming less done thank god

Probably she meant her mother, aunts, cousins and sisters, from what I understand

Brave woman

Bless your grandmother ❤

It's not banned completely. It's still done to intersex people

My mom was born and raised in the USA since 1976 and that never happened to her

And it still is a problem there too... 😔😔

This actually came from the pharaohs which were not Muslim please don't push religion in when it's culture they are two separate things

Don't assume things like that. rather research instead of sharing false ignorant comments. thanks

Actually that was proven to be a myth. Male genital mutilation has no benefits but is perfectly legal.

How am I sexist? If you believe I am wrong explain to me like any civilized adult would don't come at me with insults that only furthers idiocity

N. Weaver

male circumcision also serves no purpose, millions of men live an uncircumsized life and they are just fine, it's a barbaric practice for both sexes.

I used to think that. Male genital mutilation is just as evil. We are just conditioned to think it's ok. It doesn't help with health and serves no purpose. In a startlingly many cases, baby boys DIE from the shock and pain, including in America and other 1st world nations.

What does that mean? Like why fgm process is disgusting what happens in this process?

@@ayantikaa7175 they cut all the external parts of female genitals, like the clitoris

She's waay more than strong

Reminds me of when the doctors forcefully cut off my. Foreskin, millions of men go through this in America, only they use doctors, women must speak out to protect males, and they must fight to make circumsion in America illegal

darkskin babe In Honour to my birth mum. I would like to spread awareness and fight against FGM! Would you like to help me to spread this message? For more information. Please visit, read and share my Instagram post. @juliatamayo22

Mex cart Circumcision is different in regards to genital mutilation, my son is circumcised, women have no reason to ever have their genitals altered, however men with uncircumcised penis are much more likely to suffer from many infections, penile cancer, more susceptible to STD's including HIV, ect. Circumcision doesn't result in pain for the rest of a males life, unlike vaginal genital mutilation, because we don't have that extra skin like a penis does. To consider circumcision to GM is like comparing a venomous snake, to a non venomous snake. You're however allowed that opinion, and can easily just not have your son circumcised (If you have one or ever do have one) the idea of banning circumcision and ridding us mother's of that choice is essentially wrong, in the regards that, that is our child, and that circumcision is scientifically proven to give your child more protection and is healthier, and as parents that is what we must do for our children, to give them the healthiest options possible. Not to mention the fact, most all men prefer to have circumcised penises, rather than uncircumcised. Can't argue with facts.

Kimberly Hamilton penile cancer is even more rare than breast cancer, and the cases aren't common in younger males. And the claim that it prevents infection better untrue, it does the same thing that taking a shower and just washing yourself would do. There is risk of botched circumcision and that causing even more infection and the same permanent damage. Nobody, even a mother should have the right to make a permanent change to a unconsenting child's body. If it was suddenly proven that cutting the clit off would prevent stds would you still do that and be against it being banned?

I don't think we should stop circumcision... We should just stop FORCED circumcision

FGM is nowhere near the same as circumcision, but yes, it should not be forced.

yes it is have you even heard of sub incision

It get harder and with more complication to do it as you get older with most difficult and most complication as an adult

shadow bolt dude they were comparimg *circumcision* to fgm. not mgm to fgm. circumcision is mostly superficial in both males and females. genital mutilation whether it be fgm or mgm cannot be compared to circumcision.

Infidels 'Я' Us no, they DID

Jacob Khan jeesus, this is a video about fgm not mgm, if you need to talk about it then watch a video about it

Jacob Khan fgm and mgm are indeed different topics. They are practiced in different cultures and serve different purposes. Male circumcision is just as scary but in a video about a woman's story there are always comments "but what about male genital mutilation?". It's like watching a video about endangered polar bears and the comments would be filled with "what about the elephants?"

Jacob Khan I am eastern european but idk how that makes any difference? Cutting genitals shouldn't be done on anyone, regardless of gender but in a video about one thing we shouldn't shift the attention to another

Jacob Khan if circumcision really did what you said it's supposed to be then most american men wouldn't be able to get erect and feel any sexual pleasure and have any children but they do. For males sexual pleasure is key to procreation but women don't need to experience it in order to get pregnant. The only purpose of fgm is to not cheat on their spouses. In cultures where women are sold to be brides for some cattle and beer nobody cares what they feel. Cutting them with razors, rusty scissors and broken glass then sewing them shut for her first wedding night when they would feel pain because it's raw scar tissue. Then probably cutting them open again when they give birth and many of them die of blood loss and unsanitary conditions but who cares right? The only positive thing about fgm is that these girls feel accepted by society but if they somehow escape it they are shunned from her parents and everybody else and she is deemed unfit to marry and all on her own Have a nice day

Deeqa Tohow you are so strong I am so sorry that happened to you god bless you I hope you’re better now

Wow! That's horrible! Where are you from?

Ifrah Abdi i guess I'm lucky then lol bc I can't remember how it felt like during the procedure or after it. But i do remember that i was screaming loudly, trying my best to get out of the room. 😂

Sadly, they worry more about the society than the happiness of their own kids☹️😓 and that's why FGM, honour killings, etc are still in practice😔

In most countries this practice is illegal.

Hey, I am kinda confused on what it is, can you please help me?

Basically they cut your labia and your clitoris, so you can´t feel pleasure, and they just leave the vagina hole untouched. there is no need whatsoever to do this

+Carla Garcia oh :( Do they do it to men too?

Carla Garcia Good job at feeding the trolls.

you do realise many of the mothers actually perform this on their daughters?

It's because they are taught to believe this is the right thing to do

Sir fap alot my.god and they aren't doctors so they likely cut off in such a way it's worse and shock and death are for sure to happen

It’s not that easy

As she said this girl tried and she got grabbed by the neck and tied down to the table while her parents watched.

Brenda Floodgate it is not that easy in some countries females can be killed or abused for speaking I know you want them to rebel I respect that I’m against this to sorry if that came across rude though

Brenda Floodgate In the society she is from, women do this to other women, usually grandmothers do this to their granddaughters. Men have no say in the matter, if they try to stop their daughters from getting cut, the grandmother or sometimes mother will take the girl when he isn't around and do it anyway. It's based on an old fashioned idea that a woman should have nothing there, that it makes her less feminine, and that any woman who isn't cut won't be chaste and that her future husband won't have any guarantee that she's a virgin (since the tradition is to sew up a girl completely so that when she marries as an adult, her husband will have to literally rip her open to sleep with her).

They can’t! Why don’t you rebel against it?!

Wow, you managed to speak about a lot of controversial issues very well and neatly. Thanks!

Well said!

neatly said!

+++++++

++++++++++

Sophia Hall pretty bad both ways queen. Cutting up a child’s private parts and destroying their body is a problem for both genders no matter the procedure. Not to mention the fact that MGM is extremely common compared to female, which has been outlawed in many countries so far and hopefully many more. MGM however is seen as normal which is sick

And when it happens to men, you think it's just fine?

Troy Eppstein this is where it gets controversial, fgm leaves a girl with the inability to orgasm, while a man can still orgasm without the foreskin.

@@swaylynnbenson5784 women can still orgasm without the tip of their clit. the clit goes way further inside than you think. then you also have g spot orgasms.

@Solo Dolo Most men can hardly give a woman an orgasm let alone a g-spot orgasm smh

TheWayIRage she didn't get it carved out research it and she was unconscious I guess you didn't listen

*I got part of my penis carved out without aesthesia. Can I complain?*

Bubblicious 101 that's not even NEARLY as bad

osnapitzme Can we just agree both are horrible and have no place in our culture? This isn't a "who has it worse" competition

+mariaH i agree , that move left me in tears .

yeah I read the book!

that was such an impressive movie

+Roos Rommens (RoseRathbone) l know right. And she reminds me of the actress

Amanda Guthrie this does not happen to men, this is a practice thinked to ban sexual pleasure

Quit being sexist it happens to men too.

William Alena I repeat it: WHERE, WHEN, HOW. Read my anterior comment

Amanda Guthrie you're judged by your genitals.

Jacob Khan but why? If it was a case of bad circumcition it was a doctors negligent act, because circumcition is not made to cut of the penis nerves, it was a colateral damage (im not saying your case is nothing, its terrible), but the circumcision is not made to cut of nerves, and the female mutilation it is. For god sake, there are cases when the vagina is sew up, or even the mayor labia is cut down in order to ban sexuality to female, its not the same act because the intention behind them are completly different

Lechuga 12 there's always someone like u in the comments who can turn a positive comment into something else it's annoying

Lechuga 12 it started off as a compliment but for some reason it offended u

gabby X gabby Vice principal strongwoman

i agree!

You do realize that feminism is a concept, not an item right? There's plenty of feminism to go around to fight both.

So what you're saying is that everyone should ignore other aspects of feminism because you think this is the main focus? Sweetie, you have to start small. You can't just let things go and expect them to change.

why can't we focus on all of it??

No it's that a lot of women think that those sorts of things are the only important things "feminism" stands for. All I see is people complain about stuff like catcalling, dress codes this and that and not care about other problems happening to women other than themselves

A woman's clit is NOT an ungrown penis idk where tf you heard that but it is extremely inaccurate

that's not even how that works......... i think you might want to consider reading a book on this kind of stuff, or going back to school........

Emily Ritson i suppose lol, though that's a very odd way of putting that. i have never heard of someone referring to a clit as such

In biology the clitoris has the components that a penis has. Gland, erectal tissue & urethra, believe it or not it is very accurate. But not so much in the sense that it is ungrown.

Michelle Marie Valle yeah those other parts are true, i just meant that it doesn't mean an ungrown penis. but yes. you def have a much better understanding of this stuff than others

And many babies bleed to death and those who survive lose thousands of nerve endings. Genital mutilation for both sexes is disgusting.

plenty of circumcised men are much more mutilated than that and have to get multiple circumcisions due to mistakes and male babies do die from it especially since they use zero anesthetic so. i know a baby who got his done and it never healed correctly and he had to get it redone at 18 months after it bled and the cut opened up more than once. how is that not just as horrific?

While it is possible for there to be complications post circumcision, it does happen a lot more frequently after FGM and (like the video mentioned) a lot of women who have had their genitals mutilated end up with HIV or other infections which can lead to death due to poor conditions and equipment (also a possibility with MGM but it's usually performed in sterile environments with qualified doctors at least in the US). Also, when the clitoris is removed the woman may end up never experiencing an orgasm if she is unable to have vaginal orgasms which is quite common. Not trying to say circumcision isn't bad, non consensual mutilation is awful either way but at least men would still be able to orgasm after.

+Devon kinney body modifications shouldnt be done to anyone who cannot give consent. however fgm is far more extensive and purposely damaging than male circumcision. mistake can be made sure, but mgm and fgm are far more serious. and to compare a mostly harmless (meaning that out of the millions who have ot very few are left with irreversible and life inhibiting damage) to the proceedures known as genital mutilation is ignorant. mgm or male genital mutilation comes in many forms, one of the more gruesome ones involves making incisions along the underside of the penis for aesthetic and cultural reasons. i do not have an extensive knowledge on this, but im pretty sure this is done later in life, as a teen or an adult. though this practice is not as widely practiced outside of indigenous groups in australia. fgm is includes the removal of the clitoral hood, clitoral glans, the removal of the inner labia (sometimes the removal of both the inner and outer labia). as well as the closure of the vulva through a procedure that leaves a small hole for the passage of urine and menstrual fluid. this type of fgm requires the vagina to be literally opened for intercourse and then opened further for childbirth. This particular form of fgm is often (99% of the time) dones in an attempt to control women's sexuality, under ideas about purity, modesty and aesthetics. this form of mutilation is was documented in 2016 to have been done to roughly 200 million women. with procedures having been done in 27 countries in Africa, as well as in Indonesia, Iraqi Kurdistan and Yemen, with a rate of 80-98 percent within the 15-49 age group. circumcision rarely leads to the health problems (and is done mostly with health befifits in mind, where as gm is done mostly for aesthetic reasons with no health beifits being documented ever.) and chronic pain of genital mutilation. circumcision comes with risks, and i really do hate the idea that parents and others believe it is okay to make body modifications on children. but circumcision simply isnt as dangerous or as in need of activism as genital mutilation.

Also, circumcision has medical benefits, whereas FGM can only cause harm.

S.M. Gamble MGM has benefits. It heals fairly quickly, whereas FGM ruins the woman's life.

MGM has no benefits. Only harm.

Calypso Saint Cyr I wish I had that decision before my foreskin was cut off.

MGM has benefits - only AMERIFATS and Jews believe that.

Fuckin idiot

Oh, and they aren't equally bad unless you're comparing the removal of the clitoral hood to the removal of the foreskin which are equal in my opinion. All mutilation is bad, just some are worse then others.

The clitoris alone has 8000 nerve endings, many more than the entire penis.

Ruby Rebecca Yeah like who had the idea that foreskin was bad?

brendans forehead Thats wrong, the clitoris has like 20000 and the foreskin like one. The entire penis has 3 so the foreskin is actually the least sensitive part! Look it up it's true!

False the foreskin has 20,000 nerve endings. And the clit has 8,000.

Agreed

Do not neglect MGM

Ash UwU for men its done for hygene and it isnt called mutilasion because of that its more painful and dangerous for females

The only real reason to do circumcision for a man is if he literally would die if he didn't get circumcised, which is very rare, and a small minority of reasons why it happens

mgm is done for hygiene and medical instances sometimes. my little brother wasn’t circumcised when he was a baby and he was 9 when he got circumcised for medical reasons.

Agreed! Everything that we are born with has a purpose & to mutiliate your body or anyone elses especially a child is barbaric.

In England, the foreskin is only removed if a child is uncomfortable or unable to go to the toilet properly. Otherwise men keep their foreskins.

Bipped infant male circumsicision is not "disgusting," because males who are not have a higher risk of prostate cancer, some uncircumcised men do not know how to clean properly thus having infections. So I'd most definitely would have to disagree with you.

Adrian Sterling well said & so true!

What is it? I'm not sure what this is? Did they cut off her lady parts?

Jacob Khan plenty of other videos taking about mgm. get out of here with that.

jacob shut up

Jacob Khan No, because this video wasn’t about MGM

I’m not a feminist or anything but how dare you try to belittle this woman’s experiences and this comment by instead talking about MGM. This is still a serious issue, and MGM is very bad also, but the video is not talking about this!!! Find somewhere else to talk about it!!

Charla H this video was about genital mutilation

@@Benjavaz *NO* - this video was about *Female* genital mutilation specifically - which is *entirely different* and has a lot more severe consequences than male circumcision. 🙄

But the risk outways the benefits. And it's a functional piece of skin. Go read a bit of science on the functions of the foreskin, and on the statistics of diseases cured by circumcision, then come back.

***** Oh no, I agree with OP on that one, I'm just opposing what he said wrong.

Najey Rifai Obviously I know the about circumcision and this "functional piece of skin" that you speak, if I didn't know anything about it I wouldn't have mentioned it. What I am trying to say is, at the end of the day you can live a normal life after circumcision, as long as you let it heal well after the procedure. It won't make a difference in the end because you're still a healthy functional male who can feel pleasure. Circumcision is a procedure recognised by doctors, whereas FGM IS NOT.
