@yahud – good point!
i used to be insulted when a man would do that. but now, i just got used to it and i dont even think about it.
its interesting to read what was previously written. It makes me realize that instead of it just being okay with me, i should realize the ‘greatness’ and take pride in being part of such a nation that takes such precautions!
something similar comes to mind. I used to be disgusted when Kosher eateries and restaurants would name their establishment or name some of their food similar to non kosher establishments. then i just accepted it. But now i realize that this is something that we can find positive – it gives those with a taiva for those delicious looking non kosher advertisements a kosher subsitute.
