There is no case for female circumcision.
But we live in a very sick world.
We’ve come to expect the worst.
So here you are . . . reading this.
I’m not being judgmental. I would have clicked on the link too.
Curious . . . confused . . . offended . . . appalled . . . outraged . . . sickened!
I would absolutely have to see what some psychopathic individual had to say about such an inhumane, degrading and completely offensive practice, what twisted justification some misguided misanthrope was proposing for perhaps the ultimate assault on the dignity of females — the mutilation of their genitals.
But isn’t that the way things work these days?
There’s always some outrageous headline, some teaser being dangled, some grotesque manipulation of our reality using loaded phrases and press-your-hot-buttons language.
It’s not just the sensational stuff either. It’s often fluff, feel good blather which plays on sympathies or compassion, fantasy or nostalgia, offering hearts-and-flowers stories or syrupy melodrama, maybe patriotic anthems and tales of alleged bravery and heroism — which dramatically slant and obscure the truth.
Anyway . . . here we are: “The case for female circumcision.”
Yup . . . that’s how it reads. Sucked you right in! I do understand . . .
You wanted to see some demented asshole try to stick up for grotesque and degrading mutilation. What would he look like? Maybe you wanted to both disdain and savor his depravity?
Why?
So you could gag? Hate someone for being so pathologically and sadistically ignorant?
Then share it on Facebook? Send out indignant Tweets?
Really show that bastard!
Yes, letting people know how we feel gets the job done, and more importantly, establishes that we’re morally superior . . . because you and I could never support something so foul and inhumane and repulsive, right?
How about these photos? You and I paid taxes and that money went toward this . . .
I rest my case.
We all live in a glass houses. I’m not going to pretend I’m any different.
But that’s not the end of the matter, is it?
I am confident that most of you — like me — would like to do better.
We’d each like to turn things around and become the person we always believed we could and would be.
But to do that, we must first answer this question . . .
How did we become so numb?
