ABSTRACT

There’s mind-boggling, and then there’s mind-boggling. The picture of the FGM cake and the Swedish culture minister, above, is boggling in the truest sense. All you can do at first is just look at it in gobsmacked wonderment. What the FUCK? What are these people thinking? How did this happen? And if you’re a woman, the whole FGM-as-screaming-pastry motif and the laughter and the knife and the red velvet cake is enough to make you absolutely sick to your stomach.
