Female Genital Mutilation: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Female genital mutilation (FGM), also known as female genital cutting and female circumcision, is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons." FGM is practiced as a cultural ritual by ethnic groups in 27 countries in sub-Saharan and Northeast Africa, and to a lesser extent in Asia, the Middle East and within immigrant communities elsewhere. It is typically carried out, with or without anaesthesia, by a traditional circumciser using a knife or razor. The age of the girls varies from weeks after birth to puberty; in half the countries for which figures were available in 2013, most girls were cut before the age of five. Around 125 million women and girls in Africa and the Middle East have undergone FGM. Over eight million have experienced Type III, which is most common in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan. The practice is an ethnic marker, rooted in gender inequality, ideas about purity, modesty and aesthetics, and attempts to control women's sexuality.

[[Misogyny]] is the hatred of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women and girls, functioning as a mechanism to maintain patriarchal social roles and gender inequality. It manifests through sexism, belittling, objectification, violence and rape, often rooted in societal upbringing, cultural norms and religious upbringing.

Misogyny can be manifested in numerous ways, including sexual discrimination, denigration of women, violence against women, sexual objectification of women, forming rape gangs to attack "infidels", and even reveal itself in toxic femininity which sources from an assortment of socially groomed mind control behaviors. Women as well as men, can embody misogynistic behaviors which enforces subconscious compliance to self imposed misogynistic attitudes such as toxic femininity that appears in such anti-female archetypal forces as the [[Princess Code]], [[Dark Mother]] and [[Lunar Woman]].

[[Misogyny]] has been characterized as a prominent feature of the mythologies of the ancient world and in various religions, this was set in place to program slaves on the earth many thousands of years ago by the alien invaders.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogyny Misogyny]</ref>
