God, in order to be able to better govern humanity, took this approach of covenant—physical punishment, flood destruction, and so on. Covenant occupies a very important place in the Bible. In the Western historical record, there are eight covenants that have gone through the Old and New Testament eras, in which the covenants involved. And every covenant has a special sign. In the eight covenants, circumcision became a sign of the Abrahamic covenant and a code for God's connection with man.

In this film, it tells the story of a woman named Wallis who walks out of the Somali desert to become the world's top supermodel. She was born in the middle of the inhospitable Somali desert, and when others thought that the turning point of her life was to meet the famous photographer Donaldson, a noble man, she firmly denied it. The turning point in her life was considered to be circumcision at the age of three.
In the midst of the gravel piles of the desolate desert, a woman with sallow teeth picked up a few centimeters of blades from a simple cloth bag and tried to cut a piece of flesh from her pussy, she became a woman who had suffered mentally and physically all her life.
At the age of twelve, she was sold by her father to a sixty-year-old man and chose to run away barefoot. She spent the desert uninhabited, nibbling on the thorny plants in the desert, and her feet were dripping with blood, but she never gave up. She came to London several times, shocked by the openness of her well-meaning roommate to sex, and reprimanded him for being undignified. She was silent on the small bed, and from her soul she sent out the firmness of her own existence: "Only those who have been circumcised are good women." ”
Is she questioning? It should exist. It was like being educated by circumcision at the moment, but his eyes were constantly filled with heartache and tears. She sensed that her roommate had a different point of view, and still asked the question, "Shouldn't it be like this?" The real her, like the ugly scar under her body, was blurred.
She would spend a lot of time in the bathroom bathing because of circumcision. From time to time, she would suffer from the after-effects of circumcision. She went to the hospital under the guidance of her roommate for examination, and when the doctor recommended the operation, the tears swirling in her eyes were always flowing. However, when the doctor suggested surgery to summon a black man for translation, she was inexplicably accused by the black people from the bottom of her heart.
She should be ashamed to be seen by black people, and any change in this is a betrayal of her parents and deviance. Her thoughts, and the behavior she wanted to change, were considered a shameful act by her peers. As in her place, any girl who was not circumcised could not marry and be expelled from the tribe. Her behavior is not recognized, it is deviant!
She ran out of the hospital, stood outside the cupboard on the side of the street, looked at herself in the mirror, and recalled all kinds of past pains. She finally made up her mind and chose surgery. As her grandmother said to her, "Enduring so much pain should be for something worthwhile." "Her life began to slowly develop in the direction of a supermodel, and began to speak in front of the public, saying that this unreasonable bad habit was displayed in front of people...
You say, is it all worth it? I think her heart should feel worth it. In this story, she is mostly favored by the lucky god of life. Kind roommates, kind friends, well-known photographers... However, not every one of her is so courageous and fortunate to be able to break free from the shackles of fate.

This film is definitely open, and the heroine's aura is huge.
Therefore, those who are still being circumcised are still in deep trouble. They, without aura. They will live in double physical and mental torment for the rest of their lives. It is a road, full of thorns and long. From the film, the heroine has become the epitome of a certain group of people. So I hope that in the future, they will be able to emanate from the depths of their souls: "I am proud to be myself" instead of "I wish I didn't want to be a girl" desire.
Next, let's talk about circumcision.
Circumcision, in medicine, refers to the removal of part or all of a man's penis foreskin, and after its continuous development, it has expanded to the practice of circumcision for women - the removal of a woman's clitoris or even the labia minora.
Circumcision is associated with the precepts of abstinence in primitive religions. In the precepts, there are statements such as: "There is something dirty between a woman's legs that causes a man to degenerate" and "A woman should not be interested in sex, this is the root of chastity." As also stated in the film, Somalia's traditional values are that women who have not been circumcised cannot marry and will be expelled from Somalia. These uncircumcised women are filthy, indulgent, and unmarried.
Once again, I feel lucky to be a Chinese, mua~~~~ thank my motherland!
You say, didn't China have crap before? Yes, foot binding! Even in 1950, the state issued documents prohibiting foot binding. Suddenly, I inexplicably felt that China was united. This bad habit was finally stopped through the efforts of the government, the people and other forces. We Chinese, but still consciously realized cultural consciousness and cultural transformation. Taking its essence and removing its dross is really a good thing to say, and it also verifies the truth in practice.
Circumcision actually exists in China, and it also exists in some ethnic minorities such as the Hui and Uyghurs. However, the circumcision that exists in China, I have only heard of, is the circumcision of men, that is, the circumcision surgery in the advertisements on the streets and alleys. In order to find out whether this should exist or not, I went to check the information. It was found that the more objective view is:
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the surgical indications for circumcision should be set at a stricter point, and resection should be considered only when medical treatment is ineffective. ——Jiangsu Health Care
So, is the had to! But the circumcision of a woman is not necessary. If you are interested, you can read the relevant materials or books. In fact, for women's circumcision, in fact, there is a slight similarity with foot binding, just to please men. The physical and mental anguish that is injected into the woman is inevitable.
Islamic canons do not command female circumcision, but recognize its value. From a social point of view, circumcision can lead to a good reputation for women. No chapter of the Qur'an commands or requires female circumcision. Those who are keen to do this are not following the instructions of the 'sunnah' or 'canon', but following the tradition. From this, it became clear why Sheikh Tantawi, the Grand Patriarch of Al-Azhar (Egypt), revealed that his daughter had not been circumcised" (Herzberger-Fofana, 2000: 5).
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > conclusion</h1>
In the long river of history, the shackles imposed on women are more than we think, and they have an incomprehensible tragic meaning. It's like what Simon de Beauvior said: Women are made. In the continuous understanding of the traditional customs of African female circumcision, the Indian dowry system, and the Indian widow self-immolation and burial system, these traditional customs continue to prove the tragedy of the crowd. Finally, I want to say again from the bottom of my heart, "I love you!" China! ”
