Women's scars and rituals involved beauty (piercing ears and noses, binding feet, and wearing corsets); men's involved protecting women. in cultures in which physical strength is still the best way to protect women, as among the dodos in uganda, each time a man kills a man, he is awarded a ritual scar; the more scars, the more he is considered eligible.

My brother, this "religiosity" is not the standard by which true men of god are measured. in all the rituals that islam has, deeply imbedded in those rituals are principles of truth. and sometimes we get lost in the religiosity; we get lost in the "symbol," but we miss the substance of the truth that is buried in the ritual!
