Even girls who suffer less extreme forms of FGM are unlikely to be promiscuous. One study among Egyptian women found 50% of women who had undergone FGM "endured" rather than enjoyed sex.(emphasis mine)
Oof. I understand the point they are trying to make, and really, "promiscuous" ought not to be a slander. But unfortunately, it is. Some worthless sadistic sexually repressed fucks are going to read this and be like, "Oh, lookie, less extreme FGM is a good thing because it helps girls stay chaste."
Instead, the Guardian should have used a phrase like "are unlikely to have normal biological functions" or something.
Goddamn, I have to stop writing about this right now. There really isn't much about religion that makes me angrier than FGM.
