India for example, the practice of clitorodectomy and infibulation were outlawed and made punishable by death once the colonial governments found out what was going on.

And those Third World countries still have the nerve to crybaby about how "horrible" colonialism was? It sounds like colonialism was a pretty good thing for a lot of women because it prohibited that barbaric practice. No matter how bad things were under colonialism it didn't come near to the brutality of the barbaric practices in parts of the Third World.
