A study released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention finds a four-fold increase in the risk of genital mutilation in girls under the age of 18, and a three-fold increase in girls and other women in the U.S, due to the wave of migrants from countries where the ritual is still practiced.
The increase has been happening over the course of a few decades as wave after wave of migrants have reached the US. The current rate means that half a million girls and women are affected or directly at risk of being subjected to the practice.
The practice has been bands in the United States for 20 years, but families who still practice genital mutilation are exploiting loopholes. The study observed a phenomenon called “vacation cutting,” where girls are sent back to the family’s country of origin to undergo the gruesome ritual.

Unless I were born outside the US, or my parents were not fooled by doctors I would have to be. Yes, I am scarred.
Lanelle, good for them. Unlike them, I did not have the choice. I was butchered at birth. The men I know that have not been cut are quite happy, and healthy. Men who get it done later in life often do so because their partners freak out or make fun of them for being in their natural state. Vanity is a poor decision maker.
This barbarism is no different from female circumcision. Regardless of what BS you have been fed.
It’s a peaceful religeon.
Send all the men and boys back to their country .

No… I am able to acknowledge that there are exceptions to every rule. It remains VERY DIFFERENT from female circumcision. There might be variations in male circumcision… With a minority… Female mutilations do not involve a foreskin w/minuscule sensory manistifestations.
