Elif Şafak / Elif Shafak on Twitter: "This kind of cultural relativism is utterly horrible,dangerous, wrong. Women's rights & human rights activists,such as @NimkoAli are working so hard to save young girls from the despicable practise of #FGM and these people are legitimising it, what a shame https://t.co/oKxCHitiF4"

  This is so strange - also as it’s illegal in Kenya thanks to the amazing work of women activists from the grassroots, then surely the husband should be questioned? It’s legitimising violence against women.

  Hello! Just thought you might want to read this about the American missionary's story you shared earlier: she did not undergo FGM. Many thanks to @NimkoAli for speaking to us too:https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nishitajha/american-missionary-kenya-fgm …

  The native people probably disagree with you. There's nothing wrong with this. I think you are just jealous.

  That's like saying having sex legitimises rape! Get real, grown women freely choosing a body modification isn't legitimising young girls being held down and mutilated....
