Why don't we skip the assumed causes, and name the cause directly: Stupidity. How about that?

Ignorance works for me, though Mirror might be right that it is none of our business, but you have to wonder how many of those women would not have it done if they were educated, and knew they had a choice.

I kind of agree, but I would like to add, that it only takes to be anything smarter than a dog, to know that you have choices. You get the idea immediately as soon as you question authority.

Education teaches you how to achieve the things you choose, but in this definition, US has no education.

women in Japan clamp their feet as children so they won't grow. I don't agree with that but I wouldn't think to judge them

women in Burma pile rings on their necks to force the neck to grow really long. I don't agree with that but I wouldn't think to judge them

Men in the Maori cultures tattoo their entire face the old fashioned way with bamboo slivers

It is my moral right to be "concerned" about mistreatment of any human. What all my rights are to do anything about it maybe at question, especially for those that happen outside our borders, but to not be concerned would leave me inhuman IMO.

you are right but i won't stop feeling bad for the children during this though. it's their culture but i don't like seeing any child go through things like that but i know it's their culture to do so.

there have been cases in the US where the female castration has come into play

that is actually optional now. but there are cases where people have become US citizens but still practice this on the females as part of their culture
