Someone who has read the book all the way email snopes.com and tell them to change this to 'mixed' (unless this book takes a turn for the weird in the third section, I've just now finished part 2, and can only assume that they're referring to intercision):

This line in particular has everyone at my work all freaked out:

Quote:
I googled a synopsis of THE GOLDEN COMPASS. As I skimmed it, I couldn't believe that in a children's book, part of the story is about castration and female circumcision.
Snopes has it currently listed as True, and now most religious groups are using that statement as they're anti-movie rallying point, instead of the anti-religious themes. "What, physical mutilation? Never taking my children to that!"
