of female genital modification—of whatever kind, I don't even want to hear any
more about it," said Maureen. "The practice is barbaric, and not to mention it's
often dangerous to the health of the woman!" Her friend Fred just looked at

still exists based on the explanations given by the people from within that
culture." "Some parts of our culture are just as odd, no? Just think of all of the

Don't they know that it is summer time, that it is too hot to wear so many
