New Terms I Learned Today, Part 1

FGM - Female Genital Mutilation.

According to the commercial I saw, 6,000 girls a day across the world suffer FGM every day.

The commercial claimed we could end domestic violence, rape, sex trafficking, and FGM.  I see no end to the first three, but FGM can certainly be cured --- just as soon as all the people who think FGM is proper are dead.

It's wonderful to think that all humanity's ills can be cured by righteous thought ... but it's not true.  All we can do is fight against evil with every weapon we can get our hands on.
