 DOA - Subincision - Jingo
California band Subincision has rekindled some of my faith in punk with their album Jingo, as they approach their music with a good dose of humor and plenty of infusions of 80s new-wave and folk-punk.
However, it's hard to directly compare Subincision to bands from that time, because the music here is definitely more modern and throws in a few more style changes than their 80's counterparts.
Probably not, but Subincision's music is a lot of fun and is certainly good for a trip back to the heyday of new-wave punk.

 Circumcision
In addition to the routine practice of ritualized genital surgery in the form of circumcision, infibulation and subincision, many societies have tolerated and even encouraged radical genital surgery involving the complete removal of an individual's genital organs.
Understanding the above statistics and the other facts associated with circumcision, infibulation, subincision and emasculation requires a conceptual approach to sex, gender and the study of gender relations that is far more complex and systemic than the simplistic explanations proposed by feminists such as Mary Daly.
If feminist explanations cannot account for the facts associated with male/female circumcision, male subincision and male castration, we need to find an alternate explanation that does account for these facts --or at least one that accounts for the practice of genital surgery more effectively than does feminist theory.
