Two things: I posted a link to the following story on FaceBook. Within minutes, the link was taken down.

Female Genital Mutilation at Cornell University: This story is horrific on many levels, and it's especially shocking that it's being done now. This sounds more like something that would have happened in the 1950s, around the time when so-called oversexed women were getting lobotomies to put them under control. Frances Farmer is rumoured to have received such treatments, and one of my university professors went to high school with a girl who was lobotomized because of her promiscuous behaviour.

So now little girls are being mangled and masturbated on a regular basis by an American physician to make them "normal" and less prone to lesbianism. What the jesusly fuck? I don't even know where to begin to say how this is wrong. There are just too many levels of wrongness.

And FaceBook removed my link to the story. Why am I being censored? Is FaceBook pro-mutilation?

I am perturbed.

Edit: The link is back up. It must have been a glitch in FB's system.

That's... Really fucked up. The question, which has been asked in the comment thread on your linked article is, how the HELL did this get past ethical review?

Also, I think you're missing a couple of words here:
"and one of my university professors went to high school _____ who was lobotomized because of her promiscuous behaviour."
