This year we’ve studied how different population have a lot of different ways to elaborate the genus differences. The definition “Genus” can explain with absolute certainty the principals differences between “male” and “female”, stressing the fact that customs are developping corp’s characteristic and ,the possible rappresentation, are structuring the social life. A clear example is the female’s mutilation : where the genital organs are chopped-off . Circumcision and scission are essential ingredients of social’s identity.

Obviously my partner and me are contrary with this orrible operation. We hope this cruel operation will stop in few times. With the encreased of the comunication there’s a lot of society adverses at this mess. Use and tradition interfere the relationship with “male” and “female”, these orrible operation are doomed everywhere !
