Yeah it does, especially from an American point of view, but as a matter of fact, it's a step forward. This tightening of the law is recent, part of a series of initiatives to distance ourselves from the time prior to the late nineties. That was a time when critique of everything immigrant-related was met by the establishment with disdain and accusations of racism and xenophobia, and a perfect example of one of those 'sacred' issues that sadly exist in all political cultures, albeit in various forms.
Personally speaking, it's one of several reasons why I changed my political preference from the socialist party to the current government.
Legislative changes happen slowly, especially here, and assuming there's a lot of abused girls out there (we don't know that yet) I foresee further focus on the issue and further tightening of the laws when they grow up to tell their stories. Keep in mind this only became an issue with the arrival of immigrants from Somalia in the nineties.
On another note Shi, given your interest in Europe, I'd like to encourage you to spend time in a European country, maybe as a part of your studies?

Female circumcision is more dangerous than castration? |
No idea, but shouldn't they be similar in terms of danger? But then again, we don't practice castration, do we? We are comparing it to what we do, which is male circumcision, which is still something that I don't like. I was circumcised, due to a health reason, and I'm still not 100% happy about that.

this? Chop off her legs as well?
Why? Someone having undergone female circumcision in no ways stops you from sterilizing here or cutting of her hands. |
Ok, we can do that as well, then.

Elok asked if femal circumcision wasn't rather comparable to castration, whereto problem_child answered that it wasn't, since it caused more pain ( ), lifelong pain, and was more dangerous.
Presumably, he holds that it's not comparable to male circumcision at all - I can't imagine a male thinking that that's worse than castration.

Of for chrissakes, what's a 'conspiracy theory' about that?!!?!?!?
Actually, the opinion I express there is usually associated with the Right. I don't like Politicqal Correctness. I am tempted to believe that The Corporations promote PC as a way of dividing people up into nice marketable, controlable, little chunks of humanity that is unable to join forces with anybody who wouldn't fill out the exact same set of little boxes on a form.
However, I think it's more to do with highly prejudiced people trying desperately to pretend they're not, that's why their heads explode with PC'isms when confronted with a human of a different hue. People who really arent secretly steeped in prejudice just don't worry about PC'isms as much because they don't find such differences alarming, or a cause to panick and talk bolloxs.
That's what I think anyway.
I also think the PC-Industry promotes PCness, because overwise where would all those Sociology Students find a place for themselves in the world, if not advising on some Race & Gender Committee somewhere. One of the more famous ones in the UK recenty started going on about how Travellers are a race too.
They must be running out of 'oppressed minorities' to seek government money pre-litigating for. I can't stand the victim-mentality that PC champions so mightily. If they have their way, people in Africa and Asia and Latin America will start to PC'erize themselves, like poorer people in 'inner cities' all over the West are already ghettoizing themselves as quikly as they can (as per instructions). People in the 3rd world have more Heart then that though, and unfortunately, too many real problems to buy into it.
PC is all part of the cultural image-suite put out by the big world Bullshit Exporter IMHO.
