Traditional initiation is a rite of passage into manhood for young males that is practiced by various ethnic groups in Africa, including parts of South Africa. Among them are the Xhosa, Ndebele, Sotho and Venda communities.

    Here we go with the intentional misunderstanding. Stop mutilating the private parts of infants.

      Talk about “intentional misunderstanding”, when you’re the one repeating white nationalist talking points used to promote anti-immigration policies in the EU.

        Let me guess if someone critiques states persecuting women for having lifesaving abortions “that’s bigotry too”

        Those are some mighty self-righteous words for somebody who advocates chopping off clitorises.

          Nice false equivalence. I’m not talking about female circumcision.

              Umm, no. Female circumcision is nowhere near the same thing. If you think it is, then you should really do some more homework on the subject. But I suspect you don’t actually care about the differences.

                You’re the one defending it.

                Stop being a bigot, it’s their culture after all.
