Some early 1900s sexual theorists actually believed that sexual repression was bad for humans. Mainstream culture professed to be shocked, but were seceretly fascinated.

His first comic, released last summer, featured an evil Doctor Mutilation, who circumcised boys for medical, not religious, reasons.
"Nobody came out and complained about doctor bias," Hess said. There's "no difference" between portraying an evil doctor and an evil religious figure, he said.

Is it only because parents didn't/don't want their kids to be different from the majority?
I've come across more than a few women who initially thought the idea of an uncircumsized penis was gross or weird.

And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision
this always baffled and fascinated me too -- it's like a 'twin peaks' style dream interlude in the middle of an otherwise straightforward narrative.

even if you can figure out what's going on, here's the logic of the story:
god (i repeat: GOD) tries to kill somebody, and FAILS because someone performs a CIRCUMCISION.

fwiw, i don't think the NYT was being anti-semitic. i think this piece falls into the greater complaint about the NYT (made by pretty much every media critic ever) that they're obsessed with telling all the sides of the story even when that kind of paradigm fails to get at larger truths -- exemplified by their political coverage which is often he-said she-said with very little authoritative voice.

I keep winding up watching youtube videos and reading youtube comments that I should probably just not be watching at all, but I'm noticing a kind of rhetoric that I'm starting to get very uncomfortable with although I once thought it was harmless -- "I'm not anti-semitic, I'm anti-zionist." I used to feel like, "yeah, that's fair, of course you can be against the idea of a jewish state without being anti-jewish," and I still feel that way, except that now I see that the line is often followed with fairly scary stuff about how it's the "zionists" who control the banks, the money supply, force the US to fight wars, drink blood, whatever. I haven't changed my mind about criticism of israel or anything, but I think that the attempt to draw up a categorical bad guy is always a dangerous way to go.

do u know the joke about the difference between an anti-Semite and a Jew? you ask an anti-Semite what he thinks about the Jews and he tells you, "they run all the banks. they are greedy, blood sucking vampires and scum of the earth." but you ask him about goldberg and he says, "oh, goldberg, he's a good guy," and about his friend stern and he says, "well of course stern is an exception that proves the rule." you ask a Jew what he thinks about the Jews and he says, "the chosen people. truly a light unto the world." ask him about goldberg tho and he says, "goldberg is a dirty cheat." and about stern? "a fucking bastard."

yeah I noticed that in the review I read, and I hesitate to call out shit like that but it sounded sort of o_0.
I'm also sort of torn on the harping on Goldman Sachs, the jewiest sounding investment bank. OOH they are shitheads, but otoh they really did not singlehandedly engineer the crisis. If you go down the exec rolls at a lot of the major finance companies, you don't actually find that many jews. I don't think any of the major people in AIG Financial Products were Jewish, or the people running Countrywide or the other big mortgage originators.
