Yesterday I received a useful demonstration of how much trouble Britain is in if things don’t change soon. It started with this:

It’s insane that this is required in Britain. — Tim Newman (@whitesundesert) August 27, 2018

With the inevitable exception of some freak outlier cases, FGM is practiced by two groups of people:

1. Certain Muslim cultures (but not all).

2. Certain non-Muslim African cultures (but not all).

Outside of those, FGM doesn’t happen. Insofar as forced marriage is concerned, this can be found among Muslim and non-Muslim cultures in the Middle East and Asia. Does it happen in non-Muslim Africa? I don’t know, but one thing is certain: neither FGM or forced marriage is native to British culture, and both are present in Britain purely because immigrants have brought the practices with them. The reason this special protocol has been established in Birmingham is because of the number of people living in that city from cultures which practice FGM and forced marriages (although whether male chaperones allow girls to take mobile phones to the toilet at the airport is doubtful, doubly so now they know this system is in place).

But of course, nobody wants to actually say who is committing these barbaric acts, it’s easier to pretend everyone does it:

Apologies for coming into this,but I read your reply to this & thought I’d mention a statistic showing that 170,000 women & girls are living with FGM in the UK today, with 50% of all cases in England occurring in London alone. It is a worldwide problem, just in varying capacities — nadiyah (@undercurrxnt) August 28, 2018

The problem of FGM and forced marriage is worldwide only insofar as the cultures which practice them have spread beyond their geographical homelands. This is the equivalent of saying Turkish is a worldwide language on the basis that no matter which city you’re in, there’s likely someone who speaks it. It’s nonsense of course, as is the claim that FGM and forced marriages are a worldwide problem, but those who claim to be trying to solve it want to pretend otherwise:

But surely you’ve just acknowledged it is a worldwide problem then, contrary to what you said earlier? Yes it may be only in particular cultures, but it’s global. Plus, there are likely plenty of unreported cases, so it may be in other cultures not yet identified or acknowledged — nadiyah (@undercurrxnt) August 28, 2018

Here’s what’s happening. Either sincerely or in order to virtue-signal, young women have taken to Twitter and possibly other platforms to discuss and campaign against FGM and forced marriages. However, they’re either unwilling or unable to bring themselves to admit who is actually doing it, so they simply pretend everyone does – hence the moronic claim “cultures not yet identified” might be mutilating the genitalia of young girls. One person even linked to a Guardian article citing a single instance of it happening to a white American girl in 1947, as if that was relevant to Birmingham in 2018. Alas, things didn’t get any better from there as more millennial feminists joined in:

I think you should make yourself more aware of the extent to which forced marriage happens. You not believing this to be a worldwide problem and just limited to specific communities means that you’ve been lucky to escape what is troubling reality for many — Phoebe (@phoebgrace) August 29, 2018

Intervention is necessary to tackle this global phenomenon, that occurs for many reasons, whether abuse, cultural practice, desperation, and many other reasons — Phoebe (@phoebgrace) August 29, 2018

This sounds more like someone who wants to be seen talking about the problem than someone interested in solving it. Virtue-signalling, in other words.

I think people are missing the point. Regardless of the community type, it is happening here. In the UK. There are girls undergoing these procedures & they need help. Communities need education & help to eradicate the problem so women of any age aren’t struggling to pee, have.. — nadiyah (@undercurrxnt) August 29, 2018

Okay Tim thanks and have a swell day — nadiyah (@undercurrxnt) August 29, 2018

Then “the problem” is widened by someone else to include spousal abuse, presumably to give the “worldwide” claim stronger legs:

All (every single one) cultures, religious or otherwise, suffer from issues involving forced marriage, spousal abuse and trafficking. When you have a culture where abuse is not openly tackled, you will have persecution and abuse. — Madelaine Hanson (@MadelaineLucieH) August 29, 2018

Every single culture suffers from issues involving child sacrifice, devil worship, and increasing housing costs too.

My cultural context? I’ve lived in the UK, Kuwait, Dubai, Russia, Thailand, Nigeria, Australia, and France. I know in which communities FGM and forced marriages take place. — Tim Newman (@whitesundesert) August 29, 2018

I wonder how many places Madelaine Hanson has lived in, being 22 years old? Not many, judging by this:

You are seriously saying, having lived in Dubai and flipping RUSSIA that forced marriage doesn’t happen on a widespread basis? Lol boy bye — Madelaine Hanson (@MadelaineLucieH) August 29, 2018

Forced marriage in Russia? I know some Caucasian peoples practice it, but ethnic Russians on a widespread basis? In all my time in Russia and speaking to Russians I never heard of a single instance of a woman being forced into a marriage, even among the Sakhalin Koreans who were subject to more pressure than most. This is simply nonsense, and although we knew this already, it tells us that brainless airheads are inserting themselves into matters such as FGM and force marriage. Consider this:

No honey. I actively help women who experience forced marriage, abuse and assault. You are just a nasty piece of work who would rather get xenophobic and unpleasant than engage constructively in solutions. — Madelaine Hanson (@MadelaineLucieH) August 29, 2018

She’s a 22 year old feminist writer and comedian from north London, almost certainly middle class. What actual, tangible help do you think she’s provided to women facing FGM or forced marriage? Do you think she’s even met one face to face?

Yes, it’s xenophobic to discuss cultural misogyny and to assist women in the process of shaking off outdated and dangerous traditions such as forced marriage or bride kidnapping. Sigh. — Madelaine Hanson (@MadelaineLucieH) August 29, 2018

See my last tweet at you. I have studied human trafficking, I am no expert but I am sure I have a greater awareness of the extent of this issue to you. — Phoebe (@phoebgrace) August 29, 2018

The most charitable thing which can be said about these empty-headed young women is they mean well, but I suspect that might be too generous. The less charitable version is they’ve adopted FGM and forced marriage as a vehicle for advancing their western feminist ambitions, haranguing ordinary men while making sure they say nothing which may identify the backgrounds of the actual perpetrators. Not content with a wall of silence over Rotherham, British feminists are determined to be wilfully blind on these issues too:

Final comment: All you racist twits (see, I’m a classy lady) can shut up with your Muslim hatred: most of the people who have shared this are Muslims themselves and clearly want an end to this cruelty. — Madelaine Hanson (@MadelaineLucieH) August 29, 2018

So those who’ve taken the most interest in protocols at Birmingham airport to prevent women being trafficked for FGM and forced marriage are Muslim women? How dense do you have to be to tweet that while claiming it’s widespread across all cultures?

And just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, Plod shows up:

May I kindly suggest you take a visit to https://t.co/tr4iLBtpHX this isn’t a specific country’s problem, this is a world wide issue we are working hard at trying to eradicate at all ports — Essex Police STN (@EssexPoliceSTN) August 30, 2018

No, it’s specific to certain cultures which are not native to Britain, hence my incredulity that such measures are required. It’s worth reminding ourselves that whenever we see blithering idiocy from our police or government, there are far too many people who endorse it. The reason why there has been only a single, solitary prosecution for FGM in the UK is the authorities and campaigners don’t actually want to tackle the problem, and are only using the issue for their own ends. Ultimately, the failures of Rotherham and whatever the hell is going on as regards FGM and forced marriages lie with the British people.
