So let me get this straight: For baby girls, the removal of anything natural about her, including drool, and only in a photo, is "horrifying" and "sickly." For baby boys, the removal of a piece of their genitalia is ok as long as you try to make sure it doesn't form scar tissue. Do you not see anything wrong with this picture?

Oh, to clarify what I am referring to, I am comparing this post to the post made by the same writer immediately prior: http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/2007/07/31/circumcision_debate/index.html

Which states: "The caveat is that scar tissue -- which is sometimes caused by circumcision -- does affect sensitivity. So if you're getting your child circumcised and are worried about his future sexual pleasure, by all means, get yourself a careful doctor."

I don't wash my hands after I use the bathroom because all they have touched is toilet paper. I also touch handles and faucets and sit on the toilet seat, and I haven't had any contagious illnesses in many years.

Meanwhile,

Hey ladies: stop pissing on the toilet seats. Use a toilet seat cover if you are so paranoid about getting butt-cheek/thigh germs (which have orders of magnitude less bacteria than the tongue sitting in your mouth), but stop leaving your urine all over the seat, were you raised in a god damned barn?

"The benefits of being a house husband type (I use the term loosely ... I am sure your husband has a job), are out weighed by the benefits concentrating on traditional masculine behaviors and presentation. Yes, I am sure your friends find his domesticity charming. But, if given the choice, are they going to want to be physical with a man with such qualities, or are they going to be attracted to traditional masculine archtypes."

1. why would she want her friends to want to fuck her husband, and

2. she obviously would rather fuck her househusband than some walking talking stereotype macho man, otherwise she wouldn't have married him/be bragging about him

Personally, when I hear women bitch about their husbands not cleaning up after themselves, I have never once thought "I'm so jealous of her. That is so HOT." But that's just me, maybe I'm in the minority.

First of all, what does it matter which is worse? Does that somehow make pole dancing for 7 year olds ok? It's okay to sexualize prepubescent children because some pubescent children are sexually active and request birth control from the school nurse?

Second of all, you're blowing things out of proportion and skewing the facts to make it seem more alarming than it actually is. I'm pretty sure you got your "facts" from an article written by Bill O'Reilly. Try reading some other articles about it before running with whatever that lying, agenda-driven gasbag says and treating it like gospel. He'll have you believe that there is a Secular Conspiracy afoot, trying to Sexualize our Young Girls, when in reality the school is responding to the fact that some middle school students are sexually active and are asking for birth control, and unwilling to confide in their parents about it. I guess you and the Bill O'Reilly's of the world think the appropriate response to a sexually active middle school student is to let them suffer the punishment of teen pregnancy and/or STDs that they so rightly deserve for disobeying the word of God. Of course you do.

The age of 11, which saeems very alarming, comes from the fact that the youngest kids in middle school are 11 years old, not that 11 year olds are sexually active or are asking for and receiving birth control. Also, the school isn't giving out BC alone; they've had condoms available since 2000. And this doesn't promote sex, the percentage of middle school students in that school having sex has dropped since then.

Furthermore, the parents have to sign a consent order to allow their kids to have medical care at the school, otherwise the kid won't have access to the health center at the school and won't be able to get condoms or birth control if they want them. And the parents who sign the consent form do so knowing that there is a potential their kid could covertly start taking the pill. So if some parent has a problem with this, they simply don't sign the consent form.

It'll be a great day when so-called feminine characteristics -- grace, sensitivity, kindness -- are also equated with leadership.

It will be a great day when decisiveness, strength and good leadership are not considered "masculine" qualities at all, and when grace, sensitivity and kindness are not considered "feminine" qualities. The way society defines masculinity and femininity can be identified as the root problem of almost all gender rights issues throughout history.

As evidence that high-earning women are disliked by men, Dowd refers to another trend article which has scant evidence, and she refers to a fictional tv show. That is a text-book definition of backlash faux-journalism.
