I think that the most awful thing about the appalling abuse of FGM is that it is carried out against these little girls by WOMEN! |

It's carried out by women because it's what the men want. Men in that culture want their wives to be "cut". Women mutilate their daughters so that they will find husbands in a society where women are dominated and oppressed. |

Of course it won't. In a male dominated society the women do as they are told or get punished. |

The women can't stop doing it. In that culture it is important for fathers to get their daughters married off so they stop being a drain on their resources. Men only want wives who have been "cut". |

FGM is still practised in Asian communities as well as African. It appears to be a mainly Muslim practise although if I´m wrong, I stand corrected. |

It's a crime in Egypt but it's estimated that over 90% of Egyptian women have been subjected to this practice. |

FGM predates Islam. It was a cultural practice before Islam was introduced. In parts of Africa Christians practice it as well. |

So if there are different sentences according to which girls they abuse, which girls will paedophiles focus on in the future? It doesn't take much working out does it? You end up with a bigger deterent for abusing Asian girls than for abusing British girls. Gives out all the wrong messages. |

Paedophiles don't think they'll get caught. They focus on what they can find or get access to. |
