It has upset me for years that the US government routinely monkeys around with asylum for women who are either victims of genital mutilation or are facing genital mutilation if they return to their home countries. A lot of these women are Muslim or are from various African tribes that use the procedure as a form of control on a woman's sexuality. It's painful, unnecessary and can sometimes lead to infection or death. If we live in a country that purports to protect the rights of women it... Read Full Story

As a feminist I have always been concerned with the way society constructs the bodies of women. The body is made to conform to ideas about what the proper female form should be. This construction in no way matches what nature intended for the female form, it is a rigid unrealistic body image. This false construct is extremely detrimental to the lives of women, and can result in anorexia, bulimia, cutting, female genital mutilation, breast enhancement surgery, liposuction, face lifts, breast...

Quote from the article: PARIS, France (AP) -- The body of Katoucha Niane, one of the first African women to attain international stardom as a model and a vocal opponent of female genital mutilation, was found in the Seine River, police said Friday.

This just shows my ignorance to other cultures outside of the United... Read Full Story
