i dont really have to remind you of cultural relativism, but it may very well be culturally acceptable. seeing other cultures through western ideals is extremely dangerous and damaging, its up to the women of that culture to fight for their right to have a clitoral orgasm, not middle-upper class western college students (or any western students at all) who know shit or very close to shit about other cultures and how to deal with them. Both of those people were wrong, you cant say anything at all about another cultures practices like its wrong or undamaging, all an anthropologist can do is observe and participate (if they want to).

(disclaimer: yes, 300 level, still, they know shit if they didnt pay attention to 101 enough to pick up on relativism.)

On a related note, happy v-day. i know mine was ^_^
