(27,630 posts)Female Genital Mutilation. In Nigeria, it's over 90% of all females, I read yesterday. They generally do type III, where everything is cut off, and she is sewn back up leaving only a tiny hole for urine and menstruation. I have a new morbid fascination with FGM ever since I saw photos of healed FGM crotches on Google Images.

(27,630 posts)It does get sicker though... when you consider what it must be like to lose one's virginity with such a tiny opening. Add to that, the rape epidemic! A husband might be a little gentle with his new wife. But rape, as if raping a normal vagina wasn't violent enough?!

(10,597 posts)... those SOBs are getting away with whatever they want and looks like nobody's going to do anything about it. Didn't PO send a group over there to help Nigeria get their shit in order enough to get the kidnapped girls (and now boys) back?

Their main Gov. the countries, Leadership- doesn't do anything much about it? must be a very corrupt leadership.
