WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK

(yes, the bold blinking capitals are called for. i need a stronger-emoting icon than just Spacey shaking his head there.)

(edit: there, that's better. Rahnee the She-Wolf looking a bit mighty hacked off.)

That's just... literally, child abuse.

It reminds me of the David Reimer case (little boy whose circumcision was botched, so they cut off his genitals completely and told his parents to raise him as a girl).

I suggest we surgically, with a rusty spoon, remove the shaft of this "doctor" and then sew the head back on right at the base. Then, we test his sensitivity by jabbing him with a vibrator. Immediately after he regains consciousness after this anesthesia-free impromptu operation, that is. Then we ask him to report, on a scale of 0 (no sensation) to 5 (maximum), how strongly he feels the touch, and compare it to shoving this straight up his arse.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think we probably need to do this repeatedly. Maybe shorten him by ¼ inch at a time. Then repeat until ... oh, we're gouging bits out of his torso?

As I said last night, I'm really morbidly amused by this bizarre mental image.

So... this guy's basically found a way to not only get away with, but GET PAID FOR, molesting little girls. Amazing.

HOLY ....... SHIT.

In reading the comments, someone posted a link to contact Cornell's Medical College Public Affairs office.

I would really like this guy to be brought up on national tv immediately and shown for the sick fuck he is.

GAH.

Why would anyone want a smaller clitoris????
Why would anyone do this to their child rather then letting her decide later as an adult???
What parent would not think that using a vibrator on a small child is fucked up???

Why would anyone want a smaller clitoris????

I could conceive of scenarios in which a consenting adult woman did in fact want such, like perhaps it was large enough to cause discomfort in clothing, so like having breast reduction surgery or something. But key words there are consenting adult. This is just horrific.

Is it possible that a girl with a an "oversized" clitoris will grow up to have a normal-sized one? And what IS "too big"? Why does ANYONE but the girl whose clitoris it is get to decide this?

Have to say this doesn't really surprise me. Totally disgust and outrage, yes. Surprise? Unfortunately not. Asshole from cultures that promote this kind of female mutilation have been using it for centuries to control, if not totally destroy, that which they fear most: female sexuality. Of course they are all doing this to "save" the souls of the women they are mutilating and "making them more worthy of (Insert Misogynistic Deity Name Here)," so there's no reason for any truly "moral" or "righteous" to object, right?

This fucktard and all others like him should be strung up by *their* genitals and publicly horse whipped.

Um, "Poppas" is a Greek name, isn't it? And anyway I have no idea but that he was born and raised in the US. This sort of thing is horrific enough in the cultures that actually practice it, but this??

[fenm.livejournal.com]

Uh, no offense, but did you read the article? While what this guy is doing is no less horrific in its own way, it's not that you're thinking of.

[ebondragon.livejournal.com]

Yes, I read the article. It's still female mutilation and still is being used as a means of controlling female sexual stimulation. This fucker just found a way to add an even sicker twist to it.
