| 131. Female circumcision is used to subordinate women. |

And it's extremely common in Africa. Essentially, the procedure is brutal and often performed long after birth. It essentially removes the clitoris and makes sex pleasurless for the woman. If a woman does not enjoy sex, she will not cheat. And since it doesn't matter if a woman enjoys sex-for the man- it's a way of life for millions of women.
It's really not comparable to male circumcision. I don't have one-and I'm quite the fan of sex.
