Talk:Female Genital Mutilation

That word

Using that word and not defining it will only cause unmarried users to go searching for more information using Yahoo. This may lead to all sorts of inappropriate behavior. Why not just leave the word off? If There was a page about "liver mutilation", I would just accept it on face value. If it mentioned certain parts of the liver, I would be tempted to investigate more. BHarlan 13:43, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

medical terms used in a medical manner are not "sexualized". and to suggest somehow that this will make "unmarried persons" run off and look it up is seriously flawed. Why not create a medical related page, here, that explains what "that word" is, and what it means in a medical sense. For goodness sake, we are conservative, but that doesn't mean we should hide from important world discussions or educate ourselves about what important issues abound.--JeanJacques 13:47, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

I see no reason why there shouldn't be an encyclopedia entry for the clitoris. Sideways 13:49, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

I would propose to email something to Andy about a proposed entry. I'm using email incase he finds what I write to be inappropriate. Thanks.--JeanJacques 13:50, 23 October 2008 (EDT)

The page is currently locked from being created, but a sysop could unlock it if there approval for this. I can't see it being a problem as long as the article is kept succinct & scientific. Sideways 13:52, 23 October 2008 (EDT)
