ZeynepFox My family can be described as semi-conservative. I wear a headscarf in public, avoid sex before marriage and my mother examines my hymen every weekend. On the other hand, I am allowed to take part in social life without limitations.
Just a note about the males for a change, I saw a travelogue on American TV produced by Rick Steves, a well known American travel host. He included in his program on Central Turkey a circumcision party for a young man who looked about 8-9 years old. It was a big family event with dancing and the boy dressed up like a prince. They were somewhere South of Cappadocia. Interesting, quite unlike anything I know about in my country.
