Sxb, maybe FGM is not widely practised in Somaliland and I believe you, but Somalis from Somalia couldn't be said of "hysteria". 3 years ago when I visited Mogadishu and Bosaaso, though some progress have been made combating this savage phenomenon, what I got the feeling from the locals viewpoint on this issue was the West is trying to impose their culture on Somalis. Maybe that is why me and
@VixR couldn't see eye to eye on this point.
Somaliland has nothing to do with why we’re at odds on this thread.
Unless I have comprehension issues, you stated MANY Somali mothers take their daughters overseas for FGM based on an anecdotal article and your friend being married to an FGM’d girl unwittingly (nevermind your age-group has women who were FGM’d as kids in Somalia. I know this for a fact, bc I know a family who’s girls were). You then called for an anonymous poll on the Western-based Somali girls on this site, implying that many on here have undergone the practice.
Why you'd use anecdote to amplify a phenomenon while at the same time admitting you don’t have the data and are operating on a hunch goes beyond reason.
You’re on roids and need to pipe tf down.
no i dont work there but once you live here a decade you know it all. I have wife,daughters.sisters,relatives and men friends, neva came across anyone seen or heard.
Take my word it doesnt exist and anyone caught doin will be taken to jail. Women are more assertive and they look out for such cases. Literally almost everyone is againest it and abhores. Its no longer a fad thing but a crime and even the girls will send the red flag to the community.
Families are ashamed to do. Very real.
You on the other hand, are not a reliable source. This is coming from the guy who was agreeing with the imprisonment of a citizen based on his criticism of a goddamn date.
Several SLs who know the lay of the land, including women, would have to agree with you for me to believe anything you say.
Somalis are goddamn extremists either in one direction or the other, I swear to god
