kabir ,as always i enjoy your inputs .the comments i made were that of another woman i even mention her name and i also have her personal phone number for any one willing to contacted her. now coming to the sisters response ..also if you have read my story properly i am only puting accross the defense of those who support the practice . in our country not every tribe practice it . i am a fanafana by tribe but brough up in a different communittee , i don't speak my tribal language perfectly .what i am coming at is ,if you as non-initiated woman trys to stand against the practice it will be initiated women who would actually against you not men .also the tribal divide will come into play .the issue is not just about my stupid comment ,i am olny trying to revive the discussion .but in every thing that a human wants to defend he/she will find a case to argue. this is natural. sister i take no offense ,men look for sex .true ,women offer it .also true. if there is no demand there would be no supply ,but also if there is no market the buyer /seller relationship will not exist . the libido aspect is strong case for the pros -.now you as a woman have a duty to in any limited way discusse the harmful effects of the practice .as a man i can only wish you well. one thing though ,our attitude to what we dislike create more barrier than our words. only last month i was trying my best to disway an accountant friend of mine who was insistence on sending her two daughters to be circumscissed but she too have her reasons. among them sister is C L E A N L I N E S S . PLEASE DON'T RUBBISH ME ,WE LIVE IN A DIVERSE WORLD. some parts it is women that marry men and other places it women that practice polyandry (having more than one husband.) i don't directly support what i say only putting accross what some say is their reasons. thank you. いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] いいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい
