ALL FEMALES IN EGYPT MUST BE CIRCUMCISED BECAUSE COUNTRIES MEN ARE SEXUALLY WEAK and cannot meet increased demand in the bedroom.
Egypt’s women ‘must undergo genital mutilation because the country’s men are se xually weak and cannot meet increased demand in the bedroom’ says lawmaker
Egyptian politician Elhamy Agina argued in favour of the brutal practice
Said women should undergo FMG because men were se xually weak
Tried to claim brutal operation would ‘reduce a woman’s se xual appetite’
Female circumcision, or female genital mutilation, was banned in Egypt in 2008
An Egyptian lawmaker has insisted women should undergo genital mutilation because the country’s men are se xually weak – and cannot meet increased demand in the bedroom.
Elhamy Agina argued in favour of the brutal practice claiming it would succeed in reducing ‘se xual desires’ of women in Egypt.
The politician said Egypt’s population of men suffered from ‘sexual weakness’ claiming the country was ‘among the biggest consumers of se xual stimulants that only the weak will consume’.

According to the English-language local news website, Egyptian Street, he added: ‘If we stop FGM, we will need strong men and we don’t have men of that sort.’
He said it was therefore better for women to undergo FGM ‘to reduce a woman’s se xual appetite’ – an act, he argued, that would encourage women to ‘stand by their man’.
Last month, Egypt’s government said it would ask parliament to approve a draft law that would increase jail terms for those who perform female circumcision.
Female circumcision, or female genital mutilation, was banned in Egypt in 2008.
But the practice involving the partial or full removal of the external sex organs, ostensibly to control women’s sexuality, remains widespread, especially in rural areas.
In Egypt, the procedure is practised by both Muslims and Christians.
Under the current law, those who practise FGM can be sentenced to jail terms of between three months and two years.
But the bill which the government hopes parliament will endorse would see those convicted of female circumcision jailed for between five and seven years, a statement from the prime minister’s office said.
The government also proposes that those convicted be given jail terms with hard labour if the procedure leads to the death or permanent physical disability of the women being circumcised.

FGM can cause lifelong pain, including extreme discomfort during se xual intercourse, serious complications during childbirth and psychological trauma.
Activists say the campaign to end the practice may have suffered a setback with the 2011 overthrow of president Hosni Mubarak, whose regime imposed the ban.
Some Islamists argued that the ban was a legacy of his autocratic rule which should not be enforced.
The government bill also calls for anyone who forces a female to undertake the procedure to be jailed for between one and three years.
In May, an Egyptian teenager who had undergone FGM died of complications.
Her mother, the doctor who carried out the procedure and two other people have been accused of ‘involuntary manslaughter’ and are to face trial.
In January 2015, a doctor was sentenced to two years in jail for involuntary manslaughter and three months for practising female genital mutilation, after a 14-year-old girl died during an operation he performed. He served only the three-month sentence.
FGM is also practised in a number of other African countries as well as in parts of the Middle East, and is usually carried out by women.
