Elizabeth Yore on FGM: ‘Silence from Feminists Has Been Deafening on This Issue’
Breitbart ^ | 21 Nov 2018 | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 11/21/2018 2:51:59 PM PST by detective

Elizabeth Yore, an international child protection attorney, spoke on Wednesday to host Alex Marlow of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily, highlighting the silence of feminists — and feminism’s prioritization of “diversity” — on the issue of female genital mutilation (FGM).

“The silence from feminists has been deafening on this issue,” said Yore. “We need the support of feminists who believe in the rights of women to enjoy sexual pleasure. Well, these little girls have been robbed of that for the rest of their lives.”

Yore added, “We’re supposed to be feminists, right? We’re supposed to protect women and girls. Why are they silent? Why are they staying on the sidelines? Because there is a greater ideology that they want to protect. This greater ideology is diversity. Then, in fact, they’re not truly feminists. They don’t care about protecting girls and women.”

Bingo! Whether they are throwing gays off buildings, or chopping up young girls... if they hate Christians, then the lefties love them.

Why are these supposed experts pretending it’s all about sexual pleasure?

They are buying in to the lies told by the Muslims who mutilate their daughters.

It’s all about pain, infection, needing to be cut to give birth & sewn back up afterwards. It’s about agonizing pain with intercourse, about menstrual fluid unable to exit and backing up causing endometriosis & infections. It’s about chronic urinary infections. FGM is not only a cliterectomy, it can be so much more.

Type I includes the partial or total removal of the clitoris and/or prepuce. Known as clitoridectomy, this is the most common form believed to be practiced in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Type II is a more invasive procedure that includes the partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora. This can be performed with or without excision of the labia majora and is known as excision.

Type III is the most severe type of FGM, known as infibulation, which involves the narrowing of the vaginal orifice with the creation of a seal that is formed by cutting and then stitching the labia minora and/or the labia majora with or without excision of the clitoris.

The fourth type of FGM includes all other harmful procedures to the female genitalia including pricking, piercing, incising, scraping, and cauterization.

But if they do say something they’re afraid of Islamophobia attacks against them.

Some liberal idiot said it’s just the same as male circumcision so what’s the problem?

They also seem to have nothing to say about men who think they are women, and want to use the ladies’ bathroom!

They are “fake feminists” and lackeys of a brutal world view. We need to use their leftist jargon against them. Let’s refer to them as the “running dog lackeys of communist imperialism.”

The Muslims besides adhering to the Koran also use the Hadiths to help interpret Islam.
Here is a quote from the Bukhari Hadith that helps explain the status of a woman's role in this life, as explained by Muhammad, Allah's prophet.

It was narrated that ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “I was shown Hell and I have never seen anything more terrifying than it. And I saw that the majority of its people are women.” They said, “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Because of their ingratitude (kufr).” It was said, “Are they ungrateful to Allah?” He said, “They are ungrateful to their companions (husbands) and ungrateful for good treatment. If you are kind to one of them for a lifetime then she sees one (undesirable) thing in you, she will say, ‘I have never had anything good from you.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 1052)

So don't worry about the plight of women in this world, it looks like it is going to be worse in the next./S -Tom

Feminism has nothing to do with female issues. It is purely political. Control of the state by leftist dogmatists insures the oppression of Religious values and traditional culture. Trump represents an existential threat to these dogmatists. Their hostility to him is absolute.
Transgender is perfect cause because it is absolutely unacceptable to traditional morality, biology, science, and culture. Denying any right to exclusive biological sexuality enforces the breakdown of social structure.
Leftists oppose western civilization. Islam opposes western civilization. They have common cause. FGM is simply one more form of assault on western culture.

FWIW:

Ayaan Hirsi Ali wrote of her own FGM during her childhood in Somalia, and said the cutting had no effect on her sexual experiences.
