No, but we do have to worry about being cut up while birthing a child! My first son had to be born by c-section and for my second I got an episiotomy. Yay. I do feel privileged to have 2 beautiful boys though and I’m proud to say I took them both home whole :)
The procedures were both unwanted and horribly painful. They permanently scarred my reproductive organs, and had a negative effect on their functionality. All I’m saying is that I think it’s important to remember that we all have hard times in life. It’s not necessarily that one particular group (women or men) has it easier than the other in general. I’m sorry your mom did that to you and I hope the practice is abolished soon. But we women aren’t all awful, I promise.

The idea that some women will actually approve of my disfigurement fills me with disgust.

Which is why I especially envy intact men in countries where cutting is prevalent.
