Saddlebagging is about adopting sexual practices adopted specifically to prevent procreation, so relevant in multiple branches of the conversation.  The song establishes cultural relevance, as well as being somewhat entertaining (in my opinion).<p>What I thought made it non-relevant is that FGM is cultural, not genetic or a species wide aspect of our psychology (regardless of whether it affects millions).  Additionally,I don&#x27;t think you made a good case as to why being born as a <i>species</i> that has to contend with bad conditions (but I don&#x27;t believe <i>worse</i> than the alternative) isn&#x27;t preferable to being born a species that has to contend with death at every attempted mating.<p>In short, it felt a bit like you used FGM for impact due to it&#x27;s status in our culture, not for it&#x27;s relevance to the discussion at hand.  It&#x27;s possible I&#x27;m not seeing a connection you thought was implied there though, so feel free to expand if you feel like it.
