From the Tipity Top... (Viewer Descression is advised....we are talking about genetalia today)

so, as a feminist i believe in raising awareness about female issues, but this time i am raising awareness about something i just saw in one of Laci Green's Video's. She talks about circumcision like its a crime and for all her respect (because her video's are very helpful and fun at times) this one really bothered me. As an observant, halachic Jew i believe that ritual circumcision is important for the Jewish people. Judaism, like any other religion is a spiritual blueprint for how to conduct your life and how to get closer to G-d. One thing that is important and it happens 9 days after a child is born, circumcision. according to this video, she compares it to rape and i find this exceedingly disturbing. one thing in particular: rape is involuntary, not supported by parents and is inhumane. Circumcision is voluntary to the family of the child, it is supported by the community and it is very much humane. and also, this i find very insulting because this is an ancient tradition that is apart of a lot of Jewish families lives because this is something that makes us unique. it also could be viewed as a symbol that even though they may have different views than everyone else, they know that this is something apart of a bigger picture and that we, are trying to show that we are different than other religions. Also, because Judaism is such an ancient religion, this is one of the few customs that is still observed throughout the years. this is something that i find super intriguing and kind of awesome.
