Excellent essay. Says it all. Re the part I excerpted above:

This brings up the horrible, HORRIBLE practice of “ cutting” -clitoral removal, in some cultures.

I do understand there is more to it than the point I make below ( and no, I do not agree with ANY rationale for the practice)…

But the abusers of women(physical and verbal abusers) might try and justify the practice because , good grief, what if there is a woman here or there enjoying sex? Well, that shouldn’t be. Nice girls just stare at the ceiling and think of England, right??

So clitoral removal…hmmmmm .

I am beyond angry about what the court and their enablers just did to women.
