Talk:Sande society

FGM
Both this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_female_genital_mutilation_by_country and this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation specifically mention the Sande society. Shouldn't the page about Sande society at least make a mention somewhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.84.22.24 (talk) 18:10, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

"Secret society"
The term "secret society" to describe Poro/Sande is extremely controversial. The societies themselves are not a "secret," although they contain knowledge about the world shared only among members. Describing such institutions as "secret societies" makes them seem much more exotic, and perhaps therefore dangerous or antiquated, to Western readers than they in fact are.
