I Say Potato, You say Potatoe,

Here is an interesting story,  Dr. Jumana Nagarwala is under indictment in Detroit for performing a clitoridectomy and in all likelihood a companion labioplasty.  

A clitoridectomy and labioplasty are referred to in some quarters as female genital mutilation (FGM). FGM is a common practice in a variety of third world hell holes and is dictated by both religion and custom. Dr. Nagarwala’s patients are largely from these third world hell holes. They also happen to be children; many young girls have the procedure at the age of eight or nine. Detroit-emergency-room-doctor-charged-with-child-genital-mutilation

Here is the applicable Federal Code, making FGM a felony.

18 U.S. Code § 116 – Female genital mutilation

(a)

Except as provided in subsection (b), whoever knowingly circumcises, excises, or infibulates the whole or any part of the labia majora or labia minora or clitoris of another person who has not attained the age of 18 years shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.

(b)A surgical operation is not a violation of this section if the operation is—

(1)

necessary to the health of the person on whom it is performed, and is performed by a person licensed in the place of its performance as a medical practitioner; or

(2)

performed on a person in labor or who has just given birth and is performed for medical purposes connected with that labor or birth by a person licensed in the place it is performed as a medical practitioner, midwife, or person in training to become such a practitioner or midwife.

(c)

In applying subsection (b)(1), no account shall be taken of the effect on the person on whom the operation is to be performed of any belief on the part of that person, or any other person, that the operation is required as a matter of custom or ritual.

(d)

Whoever knowingly transports from the United States and its territories a person in foreign commerce for the purpose of conduct with regard to that person that would be a violation of subsection (a) if the conduct occurred within the United States, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
 Although the law against FGM has been on the books form several years Detroit is one of the first prosecutions. Calls by a variety of activists for feminists to speak out against the practice have largely fallen on deaf ears.
I think I can explain; the press likes the term FGM. FGM is one of two procedures or a combination of procedures called a clitoridectomy and a labioplasty. They are not medically necessary, and the third world shithole variation carries things to an extreme. It would be the difference between walking into a barber shop and asking for a little off the top or specifying “High and Tight” that would make a Marine proud.
An expanding market for plastic surgeons is called Vaginal Rejuvenation procedures, clitoridectomy and labioplasty fall under this umbrella. I can understand a facelift and will concede breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and a butt lift. Aside from a select group of “A” list sluts, who does one show off too? Sorry, but having the old mud flaps trimmed seems the height of self-centered bad judgment. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons statistics, a 44% increase in vaginal rejuvenation procedures from 2012 to 2013 was reported, making this one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures.

I can save feminists contemplating such a procedure a bunch of money. Instead of surgery, go down to your local auto parts store and buy a mirror that advises reflections in it are appear smaller than they are. Let your capcity for self delusion do the rest.
