Not in the sense of a pun, of course, just in terms of how little it takes to set off rage. Instantaneously changing your wedding night plans to murder instetad of romance is different from the carefully planned suicide bombing of a group of Danes you've never met because they're from the same country as a cartoonist. Going from "till death do us part" to beating her to death in the span of a few hours seems to suggest that the men for whom women have this surgery are easily set off. I'm not sure why a woman would want to marry a man when as little a thing as a torn hymen (which can happen through the same level of sexual activity as many of these men have engaged in, but also in sports or even riding a bike around the neighborhood) is seen a justification for murdering her. How could a woman ever feel safe around a man who is set off that easily?
Maybe I'm a sissy, but as a guy I can't imagine getting cosmetic surgery on a sensitive portion of my body just to keep a prospective spouse from beating me to death. No matter what good qualities a potential partner had, given a choice between:(1) allowing a doctor to do needlepoint down there for decorative reasons, (2) being beaten to death, or (3) finding someone sane to marry, I would not have given much consideration to options 1 and 2.
You think the women undergoing this have any choice about who they’re going to marry? Remember, not marrying the man their families have chosen, or worse yet, marrying a different man, would be just as much a spark for an honor killing...
I feel sorry for poor Muslim girls who don’t realize they’re technically not virgin enough due to exercise or something. It really does happen.
