Not really, but in the grand scheme of things, there's little doubt that women have been victims rather more often than perpetrators. Oddly enough, in the case of clitoridectomies, they are both. The evil practice is pretty much kept in place by women, to women. Regrettably, you're right, though it shows that a variant of Stockholm Syndrome is a longstanding feature of human relationships, and rather underlines the power imbalance between males and females in those settings. In a metaphoric sense, the females have been given keys to some of the internal doors in the prison they inhabit, and fearing the consequences of anarchy, hold tightly onto them, even though this makes life easier for the upper level prison guards.
