    The first time cutting season came around, Nice Leng’ete and her sister ran away and hid in a tree. The second time, her sister refused to hide. Leng’ete never forgot what her sister suffered, and as she grew up, she was determined to protect other girls.http://nyti.ms/2r5qPd8

        Culture of the Masai and other tribes in and around East Africa. Female Genital mutilation has been depopularised as inhuman and degrading.. But is that really true???!

        Thank you for keeping the conversation alive. As the husband of a Kenyan woman, I have so much respect and love for the numerous and diverse cultures of Kenya, yet concern for the women all over the world who are subjected to this serious and lifelong abuse.

        Meanwhile, liberals import these people into our countries, so this barbarism is now occurring here too.

        Islam is the most disgusting religion on earth and I am a liberal saying that. Why aren’t we calling it out how Islam treats women?
