we watched graphic videos of female circumcisions on children as young as 4.

eek.

what the topic was meant to be about?

cultural views on gender behavior.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDX

if the prof/video actually called it female circumcision as opposed to FGM?

why this is surprising, Rach? It's a distinct cultural view that the language fits.

one video (a less graphic one) called it circmcision, another (much, much more graphic) called it cutting.

syas that is true, but ugh, I hate when people spread that notiion
