Not all cultures are equal.

*
Some are downright barbarous.

Take for instance the cultural practice of female genital mutilation, specifically the type where the female's clitoris is removed to promote chastity.

This is a barbaric practice. Those cultures that promote it or even just permit it are bottom dweller cultures, scum cultures, that treat woman as chattel deserving of no erotic pleasures whatsoever.

Justice would require that those males who support this practice be likewise deprived of the corresponding nerve cluster. (Preferable with shards of broken glass.) It would shorten their enthusiasm for this barbarity pretty quickly.

At least in Egypt, there is some debate taking place on the subject, and some effort is being made to put an end to this barbaric practice.

In Egypt, a Rising Push Against Genital Cutting
By MICHAEL SLACKMAN

KAFR AL MANSHI ABOU HAMAR, Egypt — The men in this poor farming community were seething. A 13-year-old girl was brought to a doctor’s office to have her clitoris removed, a surgery considered necessary here to preserve chastity and honor.

The girl died, but that was not the source of the outrage. After her death, the government shut down the clinic, and that got everyone stirred up.

“They will not stop us,” shouted Saad Yehia, a tea shop owner along the main street. “We support circumcision!” he shouted over and over.

“Even if the state doesn’t like it, we will circumcise the girls,” shouted Fahmy Ezzeddin Shaweesh, an elder in the village.

Circumcision, as supporters call it, or female genital mutilation, as opponents refer to it, was suddenly a ferocious focus of debate in Egypt this summer. A nationwide campaign to stop the practice has become one of the most powerful social movements in Egypt in decades, uniting an unlikely alliance of government forces, official religious leaders and street-level activists.

Though Egypt’s Health Ministry ordered an end to the practice in 1996, it allowed exceptions in cases of emergency, a loophole critics describe as so wide that it effectively rendered the ban meaningless. But now the government is trying to force a comprehensive ban.
