While I understand Iris Weiss' post, I have a real problem with Brit Banot. That's because someone posted something about female circumcision on a Judaism list and said that she had done it to her three month old child in Park Slope, followed by an exacting description of how and why she had done it. If I am mistaken, please correct me. In Israel it seems that even the chilonim have a problem with women and their life roles.
