    I agree......
    Even if a woman is HIV positive.... if her male partner is circumcised.......
    it is much more difficult for her to pass the HIV to him.

    This fact has been known for decades.... but doctors don't want to
    discuss it even though million of lives could be saved if they would
    confront this politically incorrect remedy that can greatly slow down the
    transmission of HIV.

    Some doctors lie....... about lots of different topics......
    as long as the price for their lack of honesty is handsomely rewarded!

    Indeed.....

    Barbara Kay: Trudeau signs another feel-good agreement while Yazidis suffer alone
    The Yazidis are a very particular people with very particular needs, and so, alas, less interesting to our “post-nationalist” prime minister than the bedazzling utopian scenario of a we-are-the-world UN vision.

    I agree. I am 100% for circumcision -- it saves millions or tens of millions of lives.

    It is The Law of Islam and Judaism.

    In Modern Western Society there is severe discrimination against men. For a short while the information is not censored by Google, it is available on line

    -- Male victims of Domestic Violence are treated as criminals rather then victims. It is not uncommon for a nonviolent man who is assaulted by his wife/girlfriend to be arrested and convicted.

    -- Men accused of Sexual Misconduct ate presumed guilty.

    -- Men are portrayed as villains and fools in MSM.

    -- Anyone who talks about these issues to a large audience is fired, blacklisted, and persecuted. I keep a low profile to avoid the trouble.

    Islamic Civilizations have nothing remotely comparable.

    Mass murderers and rapists are stereotyped as being male just because of the overwhelming likelihood of their being male.

    If men dominated elective politics, law enforcement, and the media, female mass murderers and rapists would be exposed, and they'd be whining victimhood.

    You are aware that the most rabid homophobes are usually latent homosexuals themselves, yes ?

    And I just thought you should know that Plato's Tailor is running a late spring special on leather microshorts and slick vinyl crop tops (with a genuine leather crop included) Hurry, no rain checks taken.

    Non-sequiter. The vast majority of men are neither murderers nor rapists. The discrimination against men in Western World I mentioned is very real and it has no counterpart in any Islamic Nations.

    Sadly misandrists use everything invented by men to demonize men.

    I am appalled by the outcomes of actions of men like Alexander Fleming. I understand that actions of men like him cause all men to have bad reputation. But I do not deserve to be blamed for actions of another man.

    The Talmud explains very well that G-d intended Humans to improve everything on Earth. Today I ate broiled chicken which I would not eat raw. Rabbi Akiva gave an example of wheat and bread. The role or Humans is to improve the World.

    FGM is not a commandment, thus it is wrong. Male circumcision saved tens of millions of people from AIDS and death.

    If you need to imagine that your "men in Western World I" who largely control governance, industry, public institutions, private wealth, the media, etc., have propagandized an unjustified presumption that murder and rape is perpetrated primarily by males, yours is an odd conspiracy, indeed. If, when you hear off yet another instance of mass murder, your first reaction is, "another elderly woman wielding knitting needles, no doubt!" that is most unusual.

    Does whomever you are blaming for your victimhood deserve your blame? You seem indiscriminate in your indictment.

    I blame men like Alexander Fleming for their role in giving all men a bad name.

    I was not talking about the tiny minority of men who are killers. I was talking about male victims of abuse who suffer discrimination.

    Why do you imagine that a society dominated by males is prejudiced against males because of one Scotsman who was a pioneer in antibiotic medicine?

    Of course, a tiny minority of men are killers, but most killers are men.

    I was being humorous. Given that most misandrists are quite promiscuous, syphilis had neutralizing effect on them. Now with penicillin..

    You still have not explained why you believe that a culture dominated by men is prejudiced against men.

    If your gf/wife severely assaults you and you get arrested as the Primary Aggressor, everything will become obvious.

    A female may assault a male, but that would be less common because most sexual aggressors, by far, are males.

    Again, you are claiming that a culture in which males dominate law enforcement and males dominate the judiciary is biased against males.

    No I do not know that rabid anti-homosexuals are latent homosexuals, nor do I care. My post is about the loss of freedom and liberty, and how proclivities are used to "justify" said losses.

    CCitizen does have a point; when a male is arrested for assaulting a female, their is bias with in the entire process, from the initial charge(s) to the hostilities shown him by the court systems. It does not matter than the professions are male dominated, it has to do with the bias of the court systems, its magistrates, the ADAs, etc. Sensitivity Training has crated a ripple effect in the society, in a negative sense. Besides, it is a known fact that in most domestic cases, the female is more than likely the initiator of the violence.

    Your spouting bs like "it is a known fact that in most domestic cases, the female is more than likely the initiator of the violence," demand that you document your claim. Please cite a credible survey. It sounds like mindless bias in concert with the prejudice you direct at the entire judicial structure.
