Studies show increased "sensitivity" associated with

[omega minimo]

genital hoods; routine removal of which traumatizes and desensitizes... much more prevalent in males (resulting in trauma and desensitization), which, when perpetrated on females, is a much more brutal, obscene, difficult process, equivalent to removing the PENIS, not merely a protective SHEATH resulting in and aka "genital mutilation."

:thumbsdown:

1. Post the studies.

:shrug:

[omega minimo]

3. people don't KNOW this?

:wtf:

google: as painful as it sounds FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION

[Touchdown]

20. Of course I know it. I've read scads of articles on it.

It barbaric, brutal and evil.

But... You said "studies" so, even though it is pretty self evident, consistency should be observed if you are going to use the term.

23. Hey. I was expecting to see a study.

I didn't see one. It's like going to see Independence Day and realizing that all the good parts were on the previews already.;)

10. and if those unaware of female genital mutilation and fixated on foreskins on March 26, 2009

would educate themselves, it would be a better world :toast:

4. I came to see clinical studies on penises

And I"m not leaving until I see clinical studies on penises.

5. A bit of info:

The knob on the end is so the hand won't slip off.

[omega minimo]

9. the knob on the end

correlates to the cervix (internal for women)

[alfredo]

12. Hmmm. Didn't know that.

[omega minimo]

13. Indeed. Have you seen one?

Women are men inside out, eh? Vaginal canal like the shaft, with the cervix (knob) at the end.... the two meet, life is created..................

or men are women inside out? :evilgrin:

[alfredo]

17. I'm sure there is a joke there, but it is 1:26 AM and the mind is slowing down.

[omega minimo]

18. the "joke" is the "sensitivity"

plenty of fodder there, that will elude the testosterone-impaired (including "fodder" -- oh nevermind) but how bout............ oh yeah, here's one:

the universe looks like a giant HORUS :wow:

[alfredo]

25. That's what my mom used to call my Aunt Alice.

7. If those who favor male circumcision would...

gently run their fingertips over their lips while thinking what
loss of sensation would accompany post lip removal surgery,
they would likely have both a somewhat better understanding
of the issue and more valid commentary.

11. oh fuck foreskins. what the hell is the issue here?

[ContinentalOp]

19. Ah, what an enlightened response.

I'm sure an "indigo child" would approve. :eyes:

Yes, lets forget about the disgusting things we do do our own sons every day in this country. There's somebody in another country who is worse off!

I'll remember that the next time somebody has a gripe about sexism or treatment by the police or something like that in the U.S. Paying for your own rape kit? Psh, women in other countries are stoned to death when they're raped. What the hell is the issue here?

[omega minimo]

21. Response to WHAT?????????? ??????????????????

might want to answer before going off on your other pronouncements of COMPETITION/DOMINATION/MACHO/CRAP/


Thank you :hi:

24. Fucking is the point of keeping them on him.

ever wonder what those "ribbed for her pleasure" condoms were trying to replicate?

[aquart]

14. Ah, the nervous protectors of the teeny tiny turtlenecks are out.

Fearful of the labels "selfish," "inconsiderate," "infectious," and "stupid."

[omega minimo]

15. If that's what you call "context" ?

16. From what I have read female circumcision is very brutal

and it is done when the girls are turning into adolescents. What happens to baby boys is bad enough, losing the foreskin and all. It really seems un-necessary. I read a book called the 'Secret of Joy' quite some time ago. It was about an African girl and it was very graphic about the pain and suffering. The story not only chronicled the removal of the clitoris and inner labia, but the outer lips were scraped on the inside and stuck together and the legs bound until the vulva was fused. Most of this is designed so that a man can rip them open when he penetrates a virgin. If the woman can actually give birth with out ripping clear to her anus, and survives she is some times nearly sewn shut again.

I heard an Egyptian Doctor trying to justify this practice as it was being done in his country. I'm not sure if the procedure is as complete and brutal or as primitive as having your female relatives grab you, hold you down and cut you up, so that you can always look like a little girl. Maybe they do it in a Dr's office with some anesthetic and it's elective so you will look 'neater' but this Dr. said it was for the husband, so he would be less likely to cheat and he would be happier with his wife.

And finally this leads me to talk about the designer lips fad, since we have all seen porn star vulva's. Most of them don't have a lot of fancy extras. They are plain, simple, and well manicured. Women have an option to have themselves modified these days. It's a choice I suppose. But it were to happen at all it should be because the women elects to have what ever fixed up a bit not to have her female anatomy completely removed so she can never feel any pleasure or never experience an orgasm. It's that damn Madonna/Whore complex, again. You can't be a virginal, motherly, wife material female and be able to be a fully functional woman. Women really have had a lot to over come in this world.
