When Marie was two years old, a woman in her village in Africa cut off her clitoris and labia. Now 34 and living thousands of miles away in New York, she is still suffering.
“I have so many problems, with my husband, with sex, with childbirth,” she told NBC News, withholding her real name to protect her identity. “The consequences on my life are all negative, both physically and psychologically.”
The practice of Female Genital Mutilation is common across much of Africa, where it is believed to ensure sexual purity before marriage. But Marie says FGM is also “very common” in some communities in America.
“The pressure to get daughters cut is great,” she said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 150,000 to 200,000 girls in the U.S. are at risk of being forced to undergo cutting. The CDC says “at risk” because there are no actual records of the practice, only estimates – and old estimates at that. Its latest data date to 1997, the year after it was banned in the U.S.
But citing anecdotal evidence from health professionals and frontline workers, experts who work with victims and their communities say FGM is on the rise. [...]
For Americans on the outside of communities where it is practiced, FGM is such an unknown that many medical workers, law enforcement and child protection officers are not informed on how to proceed when confronted with it.
“This has been such a taboo topic, we [haven’t been able to] take it out from under the table. We need to make it something that can be discussed,” said Shelby Quast, senior policy adviser of Equality Now, an international women’s rights NGO.
“There has to be a huge shift so that we identify this as a form of violence against girls – and not something that’s protected as a cultural and religious tradition,” she said.
it is not impossible....to be a stay at home mom....i was a stay at home mom....working mostly part time when son was in school....it was not impossible...what was impossible....driving a new car every two years...my last new car...not just new to me...but new car was in 1986....i dont have a 100 pairs of shoes....i got 4 pairs of jeans and i shop at the good will or salvation army....why....cause it allows me the options i want....i felt it was much better for me to be raising my child than paying others to do it..when you factor in the costs of working....childcare, clothes, transportation, etc and so forth....you will find the woman is working for peanuts...
Well, then I should have clarified that it is difficult. Otherwise I stand corrected.
Yes, staying at home does involved a lot of sacrifices. and day care might be more expensive than staying at home.
The point I was trying to make, though, is that there aren't a hoarde of "Feminists" dissing Stay at Home moms. As some people were claiming.

I've been pointing this out for decades now. Finally, it seems like the DISGUSTING FILTH in the LSM has taken notice. Maybe.
Not really
People, Islam is the left's favored religion. It just simply is. There is absolutely no question about it.
And I don't believe it is a "Enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation. I truly believe that dimocrap scum favor Islam by a WIDE margin over Christianity.
Maybe it's because Islam has a 'socialist' organizational structure to it. Don't know, don't care.
Maybe it's because, just like dimocrap scum, Islam is a sickness, a disease, an affliction the world needs to find a cure for.
This shouldn't be a 'taboo' subject. This shouldn't be something we talk about in hushed tones with nervous words, afraid to offend some religious whack jobs.
This is something we should be shouting from the roof tops, something that needs to come to a screeching halt -- Right fucking now.
But, dimocrap scum will try to silence the conversation. They always do. Wonder why the scum-sucking slime that did this article failed to mention Islam? Which is the ONLY place it is routinely practiced.....
I'm right. I always am.
NBC News Scrubs Any Mention of Islam And Muslim From Story On Female Genital Mutilation
![]()
Youd think the fact that the vast majority of FGM takes place in Islamic societies would be relevant to the story and youd be wrong.
Via NBC News:

I've been trying to bring awareness to this subject for years. But every time I do, I get shouted down or ignored by the usual suspects.... dimocrap scum.
In fact, I'm quite certain this post will receive the same treatment. Which is why I didn't start a new thread on it. It wouldn't have lasted ten minutes before every dimocrap scumbag on the Board reported it and it got sent to the Siberia of the Forum.
The War on Women is being waged from the left. It's not just cowardice (which dimocraps certainly are cowards) -- It's omething more than that. Much more.
I think they see mooslums as allies in the war against Freedom
The number of young girls circumcised is now steadily declining in a country where an estimated 96 percent of married Egyptian women have had their genitals cut.
People, Islam is the left's favored religion. It just simply is. There is absolutely no question about it.
I don't need the US govt to tell me every day how much I hate Islam. That is exactly what Bush did.
Fact: Cons try to take women's right to not have a child.Debunking the War on Women
Fact: Cons refuse to give women equal pay.
Fact: Cons believe women should be subservient to men in their evangelical religion.
Fact: Cons try to take women's birth control, while allowing men to get government paid penis pumps and Viagra.
Cons do all these things against women, then deny they have a war on women. They really do take Americans for a bunch of chumps.
Interestingly enough, I love how one of these folks can't help but spam my thread with vitriol rather than to discuss the point cogently. I guess I'll glean that to be an admission of defeat.

Oh look the victim post. Strolling has been really polite in debating this and you are ignoring her . which is something you tend to do. Whine about people attacking you but ignore anyone who actually disproves you.
The war on women has many faces. Comparing it to the middle east is a weak example.
But anyways go back to you thinking you are the greatest mind in human history.
There is a war on women sponsored and legislated by the GOP. It is not my problem that you lack the capacity to grasp this. It is yours. Our conversation has reached the end.
In this, the real world, your opinions don't trump the law. Gee, now where have I heard that one before?
Exactly, and since we are dealing with legislation then you don't have a case. It's coming via the states.
Don't get too confused about the GOP's war on women.
It's not a war on THEIR women.
Don't any of you remember back when abortions were illegal?
I do.
Let's go back to the 60's shall we?
I also remember that my rich friends who get knocked op disappeared for a few months and then suddenly their problem was gone.
So when the GOP says they do not want to pay for abortions, do remember they do not want to pay for POOR FOLKS' abortions,
Their gals will be just fine, thanks.
I really must thank you. For proving my point. You only care about women when it comes to politics or is convenient to you. I hope you're happy with yourself, my friend. Frankly if I were you, I'd be ashamed. Women overseas are being abused and mistreated daily, and the worst you have to worry about is abortion. Seriously. The two pale in comparison.
Perhaps we need stick to reality, okay? Put away the time machine.
Temp..the GOP has no say over the treatment of women in other nations.
they have plenty to say about what's happening here.
Trying to change the subject might impress the stupid but now you're posting to me, lad.
The war on American women IS a class war.
Address that issue if you have the gravitas,

Does it occur to you the reason why you get shouted down is because you come off like a rabid bigot?

So... They're not women?
That's what you're saying, isn't it?
Or is it that they're dark-skinned women? And they don't count as much?
Kinda like when the obscenity laws in the United States stated that it was okay to show dark-skinned women topless in magazines and on public TV like National Geographic or other documentaries, but topless White Females?
never
Every time you people post, you expose your elitism, your racism and your phony air of superiority.
Those women in the ME mean something to me.
To dimocraps? Not so much![]()
granny being of the same age....i think i understand what you may be saying.....now and all that did nothing but free men from the responsibilities of marriage and fatherhood....i am old school in that i believe a woman cannot do it all...job family kids etc...i do not understand the concept of working to pay for childcare etc...
but there is a war on women reproductive rights...as the gop tries their best to limit or ban abortions are that legal in this country

Their gals will be just fine, thanks.
Political battles in this nation are basically CLASS WAR ISSUES disguised as race or gender issues
