Today I had my human sexuality class....and I came out feeling really weird.
We were talking about sexual mutilation among women in other countries.
Then...we watched a movie that showed some graphic stuff.
My spirit feels like it's grieving. =/
Little girls are being castrated because of "custom" or "tradition"
they rarely use anesthesia and they have no choice.
There was a story about a woman from nigeria who moved to the US to save her 2 daughters from having to go through the same thing she did. It was really sad.
I did and still do feel like crying.
God help those little babies. Please bring justice to your children. Please. :(

I think that ritual is ok if the girl wants it. Some girls want it, others don't. It should be a choice. I don't think it should be banned. It may sound horrific to us, but then again I'm sure women from other countries see the crap that american women go through to become "perfect" through cosmetic and plastic surgery.
Just because we don't understand their culture doesn't necessarily mean its wrong. But there definitely should be a choice for the women.
