Health Benefits to Female Circumcision?

We've been hearing for decades from various monotheisms that taking a knife to a baby's penis and chopping off it's foreskin is all done in the name of cleanliness or something. Nothing to do with divine commandments at all...that's ludicrous. Did you know though that there are still some cults that deem it necessary to chop off little girls' clitori? (I'm not looking up the plural of clitoris...it's gotta be clitori)

Well, surely that can't be due to any sort of divine doctrine claiming to represent a particular version of a particular deity. There must be something in this for the kids, right? Well thankfully we now have our answers. Let's go to reknowned Islamic physician, Dr. Haamid al-Ghawaabi...

The secretions of the labia minora accumulate in uncircumcised women and turn rancid, so they develop an unpleasant odour which may lead to infections of the vagina or urethra. I have seen many cases of sickness caused by the lack of circumcision.

Circumcision reduces excessive sensitivity of the clitoris which may cause it to increase in size to 3 centimeters when aroused, which is very annoying to the husband, especially at the time of intercourse.

Another benefit of circumcision is that it prevents stimulation of the clitoris which makes it grow large in such a manner that it causes pain.

Circumcision prevents spasms of the clitoris which are a kind of inflammation.

Circumcision reduces excessive sexual desire.

Well there you have it ladies. If you haven't had it done yet, I'd head out right this second. For a little immediate gut-wrenching pain, you'll never again have to deal with that rancid smell of your vaginas, you'll alleviate those pesky sexual desires, and you'll stop making your partners uncomfortable with all your arousal and 3 centimeter long clitori. It's a no-brainer, really. Go. Chop, chop!

Strictly speaking "clitorides", but only old doctors and classicists speak that strictly, so guess what, clitorises!

"Some cults"? You mean, like Islam? (They argue, but there is a hadith for it, which is followed in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Egypt, Pakistan, and other Middle Eastern and North African countries.)

The reasons they give for doing it - http://www.circumstitions.com/FGC-stitions.html - are just as varied and irrational as for cutting boys - http://www.circumstitions.com/Stitions.html - so clearly something else is going on.
