				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/fgm.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59789" title="fgm" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/fgm.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="245" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Visit <a href="http://www.newsrealblog.com/">Newsreal</a></strong></p>
<p>There is no limit to the depravity of the cultists who worship at the altar of <a title="multiculturalism" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guideDesc.asp?catid=127&amp;type=issue">multiculturalism</a>.</p>
<p><a title="millions of girls and women subjected to genital mutilation" href="http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs241/en/">100 to 140 million girls and women</a> around the world have been subjected to genital mutilation. And now, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is <a title="Equality Now" href="http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/american-academy-of-pediatrics-aap-is-advocating-for-us-pediatricians-to-perform-certain-types-of-female-genital-mutilation-fgm-92871624.html">embracing this barbaric expression of misogyny</a> in the name of cultural sensitivity and immigrant outreach.</p>
<blockquote><p>Equality Now is stunned by a new policy statement issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which essentially promotes female genital mutilation (FGM) and advocates for “federal and state laws [to] enable pediatricians to reach out to families by offering a ‘ritual nick’,” such as pricking or minor incisions of girls’ clitorises.</p></blockquote>
<p>Surely pediatricians sworn to do no harm wouldn’t advocate a medically unnecessary practice rooted firmly in hatred of women. Equality Now must have misread the AAP’s statement on FGM, right?</p>
<p>Wrong. <a title="American Academy of Pediatrics" href="http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/reprint/peds.2010-0187v1">According to the AAP</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Most forms of FGC are decidedly harmful, and pediatricians should decline to perform them, even in the absence of any legal constraints. However, the ritual nick suggested by some pediatricians is not physically harmful and is much less extensive than routine newborn male genital cutting. There is reason to believe that offering such a compromise may build trust between hospitals and immigrant communities, save some girls from undergoing disﬁguring and life-threatening procedures in their native countries, and play a role in the eventual eradication of FGC. <strong>It might be more effective if federal and state laws enabled pediatricians to reach out to families by offering a ritual nick as a possible compromise to avoid greater harm.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Hey, let’s <em>compromise</em>!  We can also reach out to the Muslim community and ask men to commit honor “nicking” instead of honor murder.  It’s a win-win. They get to continue violently victimizing women under the guise of preserving “honor,” and we get to hold hands and sing “Kumbaya.” What’s a little broken skin as long as we’re avoiding “greater harm”?</p>
<p>The AAP statement also compares physician-assisted ritual puncturing of girls’ genitals to ear piercing.  <em>Ear piercing</em>.</p>
<p>And apparently the AAP is concerned about the unintended consequences of continuing to prosecute people for “female genital cutting” (Newspeak for FGM):</p>
<blockquote><p>Some physicians, including pediatricians who work closely with immigrant populations in which FGC is the norm, have voiced concern about the adverse effects of criminalization of the practice on educational efforts.</p></blockquote>
<p>Go ahead and scream or puke or tear your hair out. I’ll wait.</p>
<p>Promoting a less extreme version of genital mutilation as a replacement for the horrors of clitoridectomy, excision, and infibulation is door we must never open in America.  This is ground we cannot cede.</p>
<p>And by “we” I refer to <a title="Tammy Bruce" href="http://tammybruce.com/2010/05/compromising-on-female-genital-mutilation.html">authentic feminists</a>, not the <a title="Left" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guideDesc.asp?catid=93&amp;type=issue">Left</a>’s faux-feminist <a title="Amanda Marcotte" href="http://pandagon.net/index.php/site/comments/im_anti_tradition_but/">misogyny apologists like Amanda Marcotte</a> (h/t <a title="Stacy McCain" href="http://theothermccain.com/2010/05/07/progressive-feminist-amanda-marcotte-is-ok-with-female-genital-mutilation/">The Other McCain</a>):</p>
<blockquote><p>I don’t really see the problem with the American Academy of Pediatrics advising doctors to offer a “ritual nick” in lieu of the more serious forms of female circumcision that are often on offer in some other parts of the world. The practice is something that is done in modern places that want to have a link to tradition without actually doing any real harm to little girls, from what I understand. All they do is prick your genitals, or make a small cut that heals over, but nothing is removed. You’re basically scratching the girl. It’s not awesome . . . but comparing it to more severe forms of female circumcision troubles me.</p>
<p>. . . .</p>
<p>And it’s not like Western culture is so free of blatantly misogynist traditions, either.  Part of me wishes that we had a two minute nicking at the doctor instead of the entire painfully misogynist wedding tradition that persists in the name of tradition.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ritual laceration of the genitals doesn’t do “any real harm to little girls”?  Really?  Perpetuating the idea that women’s sexuality is an evil that needs to be suppressed or destroyed doesn’t do “any real harm”?</p>
<p>No, Amanda.  Misogyny masquerading as a minor out-patient procedure is still misogyny.  This medically supervised clitoral “nicking” still invites the continued importation of toxic, dangerous practices; it sends the unthinkable message that fear of cultural insensitivity makes it desirable to betray young girls.</p>
<p>It’s unacceptable.</p>

<p><strong>Visit <a href="http://www.newsrealblog.com/">Newsreal</a></strong></p>
<p>“She was black, they were white, and race and sex were in the air.”  That’s how a <em>Washington Post</em> columnist described <a title="Lynne Duke on the Duke University case" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/23/AR2006052302022.html">the atmosphere</a> that led to the brutal gang rape of Crystal Mangum by a group of <a title="Duke University" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6656">Duke University</a> lacrosse players in 2006.  You remember, right? That was the violent, racially motivated hate crime that <em>never happened</em>.</p>
<p>Mangum is in the news again, but this time she won’t find an army of race-obsessed charlatans, Marxist demagogues, and pandering politicians speeding to her defense.  The Left only rolls out that treatment for struggling black single mothers when their harrowing tales bolster an ideological agenda.  Pulling off the “virtuous victim of white privilege” shtick won’t be easy when Mangum faces charges of <a title="Crystal Mangum charged with first degree attempted murder, child abuse, and arson" href="http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/7068705/">child abuse, arson, and attempted murder</a>.</p>
<p>Guilty or innocent, the stripper who cried wolf is on her own this time.  She was only worthy of the support of <a title="Jesse Jackson" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=687">Jesse Jackson</a>, <a title="NOW" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6186">NOW</a>, the <a title="The New Black Panther Party" href="http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=14294">New Black Panther Party</a>, and the Duke University “<a title="Duke University gang of 88" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/List%20of%20Gang%20of%2088%20Duke%20Professors3.html">gang of 88</a>” as long as she was able to help weave a compelling narrative of misogyny, class warfare, racial inequity, and systemic injustice.</p>
<p>Two weeks after Crystal Mangum falsely accused the Duke athletes of rape, English Professor Houston Baker publicly condemned the University’s “moral response to abhorrent sexual assault, verbal racial violence, and drunken white male privilege loosed amongst us.”  In <a title="Houston Baker's letter to the Duke University Provost" href="http://news.duke.edu/mmedia/features/lacrosse_incident/lange_baker.html">a letter to University Provost Peter Lange</a>, he wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>The lacrosse team – 15 of whom have faced misdemeanor charges for drunken misbehavior in the past three years – may well feel they can claim innocence and sport their disgraced jerseys on campus, safe under the cover of silent whiteness. But where is the black woman who their violence and raucous witness injured for life? Will she ever sleep well again?</p></blockquote>
<p>If Professor Baker and his Duke colleagues cared so much about Crystal Mangum getting a good night’s sleep, what did they do to prevent her from landing in prison on attempted murder and child abuse charges?  If her race and socioeconomic status were enough to merit destroying the lives of a “<a title="Baker called the Duke players a scummy bunch of white males" href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D07E2D9103FF936A25757C0A9619C8B63&amp;sec=&amp;spon=&amp;pagewanted=2">scummy bunch of white males</a>,” why did they abandon this underprivileged black woman without getting her the help she so obviously needed?</p>
<p>Mangum was a <a title="Crystal Mangum was deeply troubled" href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,265374,00.html">deeply troubled woman</a> long before she falsely accused the Duke University athletes of rape. Her history of mental illness and unsubstantiated rape and violence claims began in her teenage years, and alcohol abuse has been part of the picture as well.</p>
<p>But that didn’t matter to the <a title="the Duke University gang of 88" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/List%20of%20Gang%20of%2088%20Duke%20Professors3.html">Duke faculty members</a> who seized upon her false rape account to stir up racial animosity and resentment of “<a title="white, male, athletic privilege" href="http://news.duke.edu/mmedia/features/lacrosse_incident/lange_baker.html">white, male, athletic privilege</a>.”  She made a convenient weapon in the race, class, and gender warfare waged by academics and abetted by the media and the reprehensible former district attorney, Mike Nifong.</p>
<p><a title="New Black Panthers leader Malik Zulu Shabazz" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2044">Malik Zulu Shabazz</a>, national chairman of the New Black Panther Party <a href="http://news14.com/charlotte-news-104-content/top_stories/?ArID=83946">proclaimed</a>, “to us she is a righteous and divine woman by nature.” 88 Duke faculty members jumped to her defense (and all but convicted the athletes) in a <a title="Duke 88 ad" href="http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/mmedia/pdf/socialdisasterad.pdf">full-page ad</a> that described a poisonous environment of racial hatred.  And of course, the Rev. Jesse Jackson showed up to highlight the plight of a black single mother terrorized by a culture of rampant racism and sexism.</p>
<p>Mangum’s affirmative action qualifications became less valuable when evidence clearing the lacrosse players forced her to turn in her righteous victimhood card.  To the Left, she was a cause, not a human being. When she couldn’t maintain the hoax, she wasn’t any less black or any less female. But she was no longer a <em>politically useful</em> black single mother, and thus, no longer of value to the race hustlers and class warmongers who rushed to her aid.</p>
<p>Once Crystal Mangum outlived her usefulness as the personification of social injustice in their heavy handed race baiting immorality play, the Left moved on without apology.  And Mangum returned to her troubled life as just another ex-poster child for the leftist agenda, a mentally unstable, alcohol soaked liar who was chewed up and spit out by people in a position to help stop her from ruining more lives, including those of her three young children.</p>
