My Rebuttal to Kol Ra’ash Gadol of Jewschool
Loved your post. Nothing makes male circumcision quite as appealing as when feminists support it incessantly, especially with graphics! Isn’t there a better way to express one’s *love* of cock?
And yes, I got your dotted line shtuch. Cause I’m quick like that.
This one’s for you, KRG. Cause I know you’ll miss me at Jewschool.
Some mothers might claim that the child would be psychologically and physically harmed by these procedures (I wonder what our East African Muslim fellow humans think of that?)
The thing that’s unusual with FGM is that generally American courts never ever stay out of cases involving religion such as this, no matter how mild the FGM.

Actually, I *am* sorry that you’re moving on.
Nevertheless, I thouhght I was being pretty neutral with this post, since all I did was point out the article and the fact that the parents were using the courts to act out their personal mishegas, which the kid would undoubtedly be healthier for missing out on - I mean, they can’t even agree on the kid’s name. Don’t you think they should work that out before they decide about his religion?
Secondly, as some commenters pointed out, surely, since he will shortly be 13, he ought to have some say in the matter. It seems to me that they ought to just wait until he’s old enough (since at 13, halachically, it’s his decision, and it seemed quite noticeable to me tht no one has bothered to say how he feels about this - at least not in the article) to decide for himself whether there’s a benefit to him to convert. granted the fight started three years ago, so the waiting didn’t seem as short then, but at this point, it seems wiser to wait and ask him if he *wants* to convert.
And your graphics don’t particularly bother me, if that was the intent.
You guys should totally date.
Thanks, but I’m taken.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Yes. And that’s a good point.

The Foward did note that his feelings should be an important factor.

I didn’t think they would. I give you more credit than that. The post targeted you, but was not all about you.
Thank you for your comments.
I’m with B’s Donkey.
