Clitoris Removal Or Female Circumcision In Africa!


Some Gay/Homosexual men are always complaining about the stigma against them in this world. But most Gay/Homosexual men are allowed to indulge their sexual preferences, (at least in the developed world). Free from imprisonment, mutilation, or castration.

This is not so for thousands of young girls in some African states. They are expected to get their clitoris removed before, or fail to get married altogether. This is a traditional practice, and in some places, the mothers of these young women actually FORCE their girl children to undergo this brutal mutilation of her clitoris.

It is believed that after circumcision the girl would not desire any other man but her husband. But what happens is that after the clitoris is removed surgically, (mostly by some crude tribal midwife or elder woman, with a knife). Some girls bleed profusely afterwards. And some girls even die if the procedure goes badly too.

The circumcised girl is unable to feel or be stimulated sexually after being circumcised. All that she is expected to do, is provide her husband children, and allow him to be sexually satisfied whenever he so desire. Her sexual satisfaction is of no importance to her husband in these cultures.

So Gay men when you are advocating for changes to STIGMA and social ridicule, consider your sisters in Africa who do not have this right, or privilege. Or even the support, mostly in these regions where it is established, and are rigidly enforced!
