I'm going to go against my original word and make one more reply.

You get comfortable in doing things a certain way.

I'd like to know how you came to the conclusion that this is what the message that they're trying to convey to their children. It seems to be, at best, a blatant misrepresentation of the actual purpose/intent of such ceremonies.
Have you ever talked to someone who has taken this vow to be able to make the assumptions that you are now? I'd be willing to bet that you haven't.

When someone questions the way you do things, maybe you re-examine your operations and go "Bah, fuck that guy. He should mind his own fucking business." or maybe you go "Huh, maybe it is time to change that."

I asked you this before, yet I received no answer. On what basis do you say that these parents should change their policies? Are there any studies which suggest that the girls grow up to be mentally unstable? Are there any studies which suggest that the girls are prone to more physical abuse than their counterparts? Is there absolutely any evidence which would show that the girls are, in fact, worse off than other girls who don't partake in such a ceremony?
I'll answer the question for you: No, there's not. Simply because you don't agree with the way other parents decide to raise their children doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with their methods. Hell, there could be something wrong with
your methods of parenting (Assuming you are a parent).
