The Jewmanist

No, it’s not a demand, just a suggestion. Well, really, it’s the name of the following vid. I realize this is just another video post, but I couldn’t help it. It’s quite funny:

According to Newscientist.com:

It is time to stop thinking we are the pinnacle of evolutionary success – chimpanzees are the more highly evolved species, according to new research.

A very interesting read.

Sounds like a dessert. And not a fun one in the least! I’m sure many have heard about it; however, here’s a video with Bill Maher and guests discussing this very issue:

I completely agree with Bill when he equates this procedure with the traditional ideals of marriage. Men have traditionally been the ones to give away their daughters to the new man, for she couldn’t possibly be happy on her own…in the big scary world…(rolls eyes). This is exemplified by the modern & traditional wedding ceremony (white dress, father walks you down the aisle). As a side note, I abhor that wedding ceremony and think its horribly misogynous.

Why must a daughter promise to her father, but not her mother (who she tends to have a much tighter bond with)?
