		<description>The Divine Force I&#039;m acquainted with has a wicked, wicked sense of humor, couldn&#039;t give two shits about my hymen, and is definitely worth knowing.  

I don&#039;t know from this God dude, he seems like an asshole.</description>

		<description>Twisty, I know it&#039;s changing the subject a bit but have you considered the possibility that the &quot;woman-hating patriarchal construct&quot; that you associate with God is not actually God, but rather a picture of God contructed by the patriarchy?  Perhaps you are confusing a gnarly, wart-infested finger pointing at the moon with the moon itself.</description>

		<description>Isabella, for a lot of women the rupturing of the hymen during the first sexual experience is painful.

Obviously, if a Christian woman who &quot;made a mistake&quot; is honest with her bridegroom, he knows that it isn&#039;t her first time.  So how does having the surgery give him &quot;the gift of her virginity&quot; when he knows she isn&#039;t a virgin? 

Unless the gift of virginity is not the gift of one&#039;s first sexual experience, but is instead the gift of causing you pain by ripping your flesh on the wedding night? If his religious beliefs make him believe he&#039;s entitled to break that hymen or else, he is not good husband material no matter how fervently he praises the Lord, he is a control freak.</description>

		<description>Arguments that depend on religion don&#039;t wash with me; God is a woman-hating patriarchal construct. I&#039;m afraid I don&#039;t even respect your beliefs.

Additionally, your ellipses sicken me.</description>

		<description>This thread disturbed me.  The ladies posting in here are promiscuous and don&#039;t feel at wrong.  Are you all atheists in here?  Not to sound rude....but I find this surgery appealing to many women.  Say they made a mistake, and lost their virginity at a young age, then refound God, and was going to get married.  I would feel horrible, as a Christian, to not give my entire self away to my husband, and him only.   Of course you would tell him you are not a &#039;virgin,&#039; but it was a mistake, and spent the money on something you believed in.  The women in here obviously are lustful and are into fabricated love.  None of this is romantic at all, it is repulsive.  Religious husbands may also be interested in this as well...if the wife was not a virgin at the time they married.  If they were un-believers, then yes, I don&#039;t know why husbands would want that.

This is also helpful to the Muslim women who will be killed if found not a virgin to their husbands.  If they repair the hymen, their life would be safe...
This procedure is usually only given to people with religious reasons...because usually the surgeons are religious....I&#039;m sure there might be a couple who aren&#039;t, but the religious ones won&#039;t want to do this with a wicked reason...</description>

		<description>[...] It should be fairly obvious to everyone here why we blog against sexism. It&#8217;s because women are still considered sub-human baby-producing vessels, instead of individuals with full rights of self-determination. Because women&#8217;s bodies are still seen and used as property. Because reductive gender constructions hurt women and men, and shame people out of supporting equal rights. Because we still have to answer these questions. Because some people still fail to recognize that there&#8217;s work to be done here and abroad. Because woman = sex, and our bodies are fetishized and labelled deviant, dangerous, and sinful. Because sexism, heterosexism, animus/discrimination/violence towards women and animus/discrimination/violence towards the LGBT community are inherently intertwined. Because the rights of the woman still come last. [...]</description>

		<description>Speaking as an old broad who&#039;s sporting $5,000 worth of barbwire in her mouth for the next couple years, I&#039;m thinking I wouldn&#039;t pay that for hymen &quot;reconstruction&quot; either, and I&#039;m using those loathesome bunny-ears because I&#039;m not sure I ever had one. Never wanted one either. 

God damn. Shit like that gives fucking a bad name.</description>

		<description>Hmmm. I did translate the Conclusion, which was only two sentences and probably fairly easily understandable to someone that doesn&#039;t have French but it hasn&#039;t shown up, so I don&#039;t know whether the Spamulator has it, or whether its just plain vanished. I have shit to do today, for IWD, so if it doesn&#039;t show, ask me again later.</description>
