We must get this pornography out of our schools!

“….Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.”

Yes, this is from a book our children are reading right now!

Opps…never mind…this is from Ezekiel 23:19-22 in the Bible…

or whatever the original text was written in to be sure of that. The bible was translated into English. Who know's what liberties the translators took.

The translators would have to be experts on the culture at the time to understand the context of what was written and choose an appropriate translation. That's why I think folks who take the English translation of the Bible as the literal truth, rather than metaphorically, just don't get it.

"Jesus told His disciples, “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” (Matthew 10:30).

The literalist interprets this as "God knows the exact number of hairs on your head" rather than just "God knows us intimately".

There would be three asterisks where they'd deleted words. I always checked my father's Shakespeare to see what they took out. The only one I remember is this line from Romeo and Juliet

"nor ope her lap to saint seducing gold."

A Winter's Tale, in 6th grade. Not sure why she picked that one, but... The teacher told us beforehand that it included what some people consider a bad word - bastard. She wanted us to know that she would warn us when it was coming in case it made us uncomfortable so we could skip that part if we wanted. The year was 1968.

What does that say for that side (besides all-bad, all-negative things)?

I think it’s proof who the REAL “snowflakes” are.

And we should start saying so at ANY AND ALL opportunities. This is one of those beautiful moments when we can take one of THEIR talking points and turn it around/upside-down/right on their asses. It puts that shitty insult to work - on OUR behalf. And it lets us “name ‘n’ frame” THEM!

THEY’RE the real “snowflakes” here.

And I find it pretty ironing that they’re demanding to decide what books offend or render “uncomfortable” some impressionable white-face’ers. Who’s the “snowflake” NOW, ‘eh?

Song of Solomon 7:2

The noun שֹׁרֶר (shorer) is a hapax legomenon, appearing in the OT only here. There is debate whether it means “navel” or “vulva”. Lys and Pope suggest that שֹׁרֶר is related to Arabic srr (“secret place, pudenda, coition, fornication”). They suggest that this is contextually supported by three factors:
(a) His descriptive praise of her is in ascending order, beginning with her feet and concluding with her hair. The movement from her thighs (7:1b), to her vulva (7:2a), and then to her waist (7:2b) would fit this.
(b) The descriptive comparison to a glass of wine would be grotesque if her navel were in view—her navel was moist or filled with liquid?—but appropriate if her vulva were in view.
(c) The navel would be a somewhat synonymous reference to the belly which is already denoted by בִּטְנֵךְ (bitnekh, “belly”) in the following line. Because 7:1-7 does not use synonymous parallelism, the term שֹׁרֶר would have to refer to something other than the belly.
