So allowing doctors to practice a procedure that is ILLEGAL is a sure-fire way to combat a problem, right? The argument is that it will help end backyard FGM and won't remove as much skin. That's right, they're only cutting off a little bit of vagina you guys, no biggy! Unfortunately we're not the first Western country to discuss this shit. Apparently child abuse is okay if it's a cultural thing.

Of course the real question here is, which side will the Socialist Alternative take? "To disagree is to judge their culture by our own standards and is bigoted and racist, but to agree means I can't maintain my feminist blog... BAWWWWWWWW"

Cutting vaginas to achieve cultural sensitivity? Idk but if anyone did that to me I would be rather hostile towards that culture. This irks me mostly because of the number of corrupted, pedophile doctors out there too and surgical complications.. oops, no more clit for you.

Oh this makes me so angry too. It's a massive violation, theft, assault and child abuse all rolled into one neat package. And here in socially progressive Australia I can't even believe it's being discussed. Those doctors who don't say anything to child protection services should be charged with accomplice offences.
