Other programs go out to the villages, with a more aggressive education program, because women in rural areas have never seen how the body is supposed to work. After learning this, some women are very angry. They question why they were cut. But there are women who watch films about the functions of intact genitals and they refuse to believe they were harmed. They strongly defend female circumcision, saying that their genitals are beautiful and that their daughters' uncircumcised genitals are ugly or they smell and will cause them infections.
Some women are difficult to convince.
Under threat of the British law, mothers say they will take their daughters to Somalia. We in the West are told that circumcised women lose all sexual feeling after circumcision. This is a general myth. After circumcision, some women have no feeling, but others simply lose interest in men because sex is painful. They experience a type of sexuality, yes, but in a way different from an intact woman.
