Didn't she bail for a while and come back, or am I misremembering?

No... all I'm saying is that I no longer feel comfortable replying to you about this. I've said my piece, I linked you to an article that explained the ethical and medical issues of circumcision that justify my feelings on this — you're welcome to read it, or you can continue to ignore it, which it sounds like you…

I'm sorry, but I just don't have the time or energy to respond to all of this because it's obviously personal (and still sore, if I'm not mistaken from the tone of your message) to you. But if this is something that is as serious as it seems to you, you and your husband might be interested in reading this: http://blog.…

That face is the look of a man who really wants to argue using all the Misogynist Main Arguments, but knowing if he did, he'd come off looking like even more of a sexist prig and he'd have an internet shitstorm for days. So instead he just sits there looking helpless saying, "surely there must be something," and we…

Yes, you can indeed restore a foreskin, which is a modern option available to men.

If you could, read my other responses on the thread. I am not arguing they're the same — I am arguing that these are two medically unnecessary alterations to people's genitals. You may argue the severity doesn't compare, which is completely within the realm of reason, but saying that they are absolutely dissimilar…

Why is the function of the foreskin relevant? Both types of surgeries are medically unnecessary, and I'm frankly astounded why anyone is arguing to justify cutting off the tip of an infant's penis because . . . well, because. Just because. There is zero medically compelling reason to do so, and because an infant…

I suppose my problem with what you're saying is the assumption that one person with a penis gets to decide something life altering for another person with a penis, and you'll let him because . . . you don't have a penis? Your husband might be happy with his penis, and that's fine — because circumcised penises in your…

I'm glad to hear it. And you're right, it doesn't help the parent who has already made the choice for their son or whose parents made the decision for him. in discussions like this, I kind of feel like people who have been affected by circumcision have a habit of sticking their head in the sand. Already I'm seeing…

She did. But at the same time, there just isn't any way of discussing circumcision on the internet without talking to people who either have had it done to them or chose it for their sons. There just isn't. Of course they're going to be offended, no matter how well reasoned your (general you, not you you) arguments or…

So people shouldn't talk about the fact that infant circumcision is a largely unnecessary procedure because it might offend someone? Yeah, OK. Look, this is a hot topic and one people get very passionate about because in the United States there is a long history of circumcision falsehoods being spread in an attempt to…

Terribly tone deaf comparisons you made aside, circumcision has a whole host of issues that violate bodily autonomy. I don't give a shit what you compare getting a foreskin removed to, no one should have the tip of their penis cut off before they're even able to consent. That shit doesn't grow back. A fingernail does.

Right? It's amazing to me that the people who use this argument for male circumcision are the same people who would be ALL up in arms about it being used as an excuse for a cliterectomy.

Oh ME TOO. I thought rockstar jumps were bad, but doing these ... oh my quads.

I completely understand. I was in such a bad place when I started 30DS that I literally couldn't move for 2 days afterward. I finished it eventually, but I worked so hard to. I don't know if my experience with Body Revolution is because I already finished 30DS first, but I remember thinking it was more appropriate for…

I've done them, too. I've finished 3 of her longer programs so far (30DS, Ripped in 30, and Body Revolution), and I use a few of her videos for days I can't go to the gym, and they basically helped me get into the best shape of my life. They're great.

They're called star jumps. They make your thighs buuuurn and they're great:

She does sumos in her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism video and they are KILLER. But I think the modified Jack (to make it harder) is called a star jump:

She can go pretty fast in 30DS, but you might try her Body Revolution. If you can stand that it's a 90 day program, it eases you in much better than 30DS for beginners. At least, I thought so!

No... :( I remember reading on Jezebel about his relapse some months ago and how I wished here that he would find the help he needed. I am so saddened that we've lost such a talented actor.
