sigelphoenix at 08:14pm on 11/05/2007 under anti-racism and racial privilege, feminism and sexism, school, sex and body issues, women and violence[This is part of my series on Women and Violence, which I am writing as a project for a Women Studies course I'm taking. For an explanation and information on my intentions with this series, please see the introduction.]
Yesterday some of my classmates gave a presentation about female genital cutting (though the terminology they used, and which is probably more familiar to people, is "female genital mutilation" - a difference which I'll address later on). It's an important, worthwhile issue, and I'm glad our class is addressing it.
Still, every time the topic comes up in conversation I cringe inwardly.
