What's interesting to me about this tweet is the acknowledgment of the trauma the mother faces in being caught between protecting her child and the pressures society places on her to relinquish her role as protector.
i misunderstood, Mike Abel is talking about adolescent tribal circumcision and not jewish infant circumcision.
