WARRIOR MARKS
Female Genital Mutilation and the Sexual Blinding of Women
by Alice Walker and Pratibha Parmar
Harcourt Brace and Company
Want to get your feminist ire up? READ THIS BOOK! You know Alice Walker as the author of THE COLOR PURPLE. In this book she and her Indian co-author go to Africa and talk to the mutilated and the mutilators, in hopes of educating to stop the practice. Do they have dykes over there? Yep!
Page 44 "Their role is to dress as clowns and men in order to amuse everyone else. One of them kept shaking her near-naked butt in the children's faces. I don't know if they are dykes. I think they are ridiculed and forced to play this entertainer role so that they, as BAREN WOMEN, can have a place in society at all, since a barren woman is considered of no use whatsoever. ."
