"The correct term is genital mutilation."

No, the correct term for the surgical procedure being practiced on these female children is clitorectomy. Let's not mince words here with such vague terms as female genital mutilation and circumcision. For crying out loud, the clitoris is being cut from these little girl's bodies.

You may use the clinical term but, in fact, many of the girls are, in fact, mutilated. The clitoris is very infrequently excised in a sterile or clinical environment and there is often damage done beyond even the intent of these barbarians.

As for your “for crying out loud” statement, are you implying that I do not think this is diabolical and horrific? Come on. I call it what is IS. I will not use a benign medical term.
