Hawa Nagila Hava Nagila... & Circumsision

Doctoreh Doolboreh Doolchini a good title (a nice Italian sounding rhythmic rhyme) for a specialist whose practice is male circumcision, to be specific (in light of new reports on female circumcision/mutilation, Khatneh, in Farsi.)

In the pre-revolutionary Iran that I grew up, Farsi speaking people referred to it as Doodool and at times Doodool Tala (Golden Pee Pee, if it was their own kid they were talking about ) and for girls a similar slang, calling it Mammas Tala (Golden Wee Wee.) Of course guys enjoyed a little more prestige and enthusiasm when mom and dad also put it on a higher pedestal and called it the Family Jewels too. So you can see that historically Persians placed a very high value on both sexes’ sexual organs. I just hope that the post revolutionary young Persian Pee Pees and Wee Wees enjoy the same clout and respect as did their older brothers and sisters.

As far as I know that practice was never carried out for girls in Iran and for boys, I guess, how should it put this, may be it was because it made it look more holy and respectable, as if it was wearing a turban (excuse my French, pun intended!)

Too much info. on wikipedia, and I don’t recommend it for the faint of heart.

Although I make light of this subject, but this is my way of dealing with it and bringing attention to this very serious subject especially when it comes to women circumcision and gentile mutilation in some backward societies (and not-so-much-backward-cultures around the globe, even nowadays.)

V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sexual slavery.

I found a blog link to some guy (must be Iranian) that proudly advertises and displays his manhood secrets on his car’s license plate.
Dol Tala or Doodool Tala refers to the same thing (Penis in Farsi & Tala is Gold.) Here is an opposing point of view to those women who think a male private part is very ugly. We are very proud of our family jewels and we don’t think it’s ugly at all and I think I’m talking on behalf of all the guys who are not impotent. Fatabarak Allah Ahsanool Khalegheen (My praise on the finest creation,) isn’t that how the Profit referred to women? Most of us guys appreciate our better halves.
But seriously, what about violence against boys and men? You think little boys (and even girls) don’t get abused or even violated or raped? I’m not picking on Catholicism, but I just want to point out an example where these things can go on, right under our noses, of all places, inside some churches? Haven’t many kids been molested by well respected priests? How about child abuse and child labor? Isn’t that a form of violation? What about living under an autocratic government that regularly stumps on your basic human rights and freedom? Who's to claim justice for them? You can't put any value on a life time of oppression and living under different version of apartheid. They are jamming their version of religion down our throats. What kind of abuse do you call that?

Well, enough about serious subjects, let’s just watch something quite funny. Must listen. Hawa Nagila, by the talented Piano Brothers:
