Ow. Why?
It's an extra hole for the men.
So I'm never getting an erection again.
stupid barbaric bullshit
-snippy, could have been considered flaming-
I can assume people rated me dumb cause "durp durp I'm not respecting their beliefs and culture"
Yeah you're right I'm not. That sort of tribal shamanic bullshit shouldn't be respected and I have no respect for it. Treating women like cattle essentially.
What they are doing is wrong and counter productive.
Do you respect the extremist Muslims who cut up their daughters genitals?
Incoming boxes from a bunch of bleeding hearts.

hey guys you know what this reminds me of
circumcision
Wooow... shows how much value we can give to pointless things.
"One theory is that it was started to discourage slavers from stealing their women."
Just another example of the imperialism of early European countries, having negitive effects on the native people of the southern hemisphere. It's not religous shamanic gobbledegook it's mainly cultural.

There is also that tradition of cutting off the female clitoris.
It's not just women though.

om nom nom
I heard in this one culture people use needles to insert ink under their skin to create patterns and images and they actually believe this makes them attractive
how barbaric
Uh do you not understand tattoos.
They aren't to make you look more attractive (unless you're stupid) they are supposed to show off artwork and individuality.
Also a completely harmless, aesthetic procedure which is hidden from the world most of the time IS NOT like having someone smash out some of your teeth, cut your lip open, and then insert a giant plate.
Why not? I mean sure we refined tattoos into something we can accept, but you're still putting something in your body.
I wouldn't go as far as saying tattoos and piercing are as bad as knocking your teeth out and putting a plate in your lip, but it sure as hell is the same type of procedure, just different.

That's not an opinion at all. Totally not subjective a bit.

Except apparently you can opt out of it if you don't want it done so why do you feel the need to correct what they want to do to themselves
Yea you can opt out but then you become a social pariah.
