I agree, there has been lots of discussion on this subject in the media.
Did anyone watch the 'Newsnight' special investigation about 'Female genital Mutilation'?

I was just reminded by the 10 O'Clock show that Page 3 still exists.
This, my female friends, is a f**king national embarrassment, in my view.
Anyone want to disagree with me?

I haven't looked at Page 3 in a few years, but if that's what they're doing now I have to say I mostly disagree with it.
Page 3 is a sodding disgrace?
Have you seen it lately? I've got bigger boobs than half of them

What happened to the page 7 fella?

To be fair page 3 is a lot more political engaged and tuned in to the issues of the day:
'19 year old Krystal from Southend believes we should deport Abu Qatada despite the ruling from Europe.'

Sad no one expressed an opinion on this 
so is anyone going to discuss the awful practise of this mutilation on 'wimmin'?

Snide answer: Shouldn't this be posted in your serious thread and not in this joking thread?
Serious answer: I'm sure that 100% of the regular BCG posters are 100% against mutilating women. I don't know what you're attempting to accomplish by bringing it up, but I can guarantee that it will result in crude jokes and wisecracks because this is a comedy site.
Where is the 'Serious' thread?... I have looked for ages.
Well, from studying these posts it seems a lot of men are Serious.
Have you thought maybe you're wrong, not me?

You started it!

I am quite certain that:
a) the men on this site are kind and good. The women, too.
b) the men on this site are funny. The women, too.
c) the men on this site take offence when you charge in and insist that they follow your agenda. The women, too.
Female genital mutilation was touched upon here: https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/18781/5#P671482
Yes, Ken, way before I joined here, male sex circumcision, interesting.
OK Da Butt, if people do take anything/thread serious how do people know?... It's interesting you refer to a thread of mine that has been hijacked else where!
I do not consider this place a good one to be serious, and been informed of that.
Why do you not question others who are far more provocative and crude in their remarks to me? Sure you could sort those guys out? Maybe you don't want to.
This thread is not mine, I only contributed to it like you, but will gracefully back away now.
Tonight failed in attempt to keep away, Grrrr. Self Loathing.
So I'm working the waking night in a care home whilst at Uni years ago. With one of my colleagues who's kinda a stoic woman. And then she asks me out of the blue if I know any mohels, as she wants to get her son circumcised and she heard they were the best. I said yes, but I didn't think Christians circumcised their sons. She replied everyone in her tribe was circumcised; boys and girls. I asked if she was circumcised. She replied yes. Pushing it, I asked how she felt about it. Her response was roughly; if no women in your community has sexual feelings do you want your daughter to not fit in? The absence of them had never bothered her and had allowed her to concentrate on other areas of her life. And it helped give them identity as a community. Also sexual feelings were a burdern to men. She still loved her family etc.
Still think it's a terrible barbaric practise that should be banned.
Just interesting to see it from the other side.

While I think this practise is definitely child abuse, I wouldn't mind people having an on/off switch fitted.
