Re: FEMALE CIRCUMCISION

You just hit rock bottom with the most idiotic statement ever made. Slaves do not exist, but men and women do, who were slaves. Slaves didn't become extinct, slavery did. Similarly, women do not have to become extinct to make FGM extinct. I feel like I am talking to a 4th standard back bencher. For...
