If not it should be... female circumcision is designed to mutilate the 
genitalia and make women subservient.  Basically it takes all enjoyment 
a woman could have out of sex.  They do this horrible thing in like 
Nigeria and some other African countries.  It's not the same as 
removing useless flesh...i.e. umbilical cord, foreskin, etc.

Obligatory gross-out:  I saw a weird cookbook in B&N about eating all 
sorts of strange things because one could... and had recipes and such.  
One group decided to serve their daughter's placenta as a pate.... AND 
(here's the wrong part about it)... didn't tell the people they served 
it to as far as I can remember.
