Is this Joke?

There are so many things wrong with this letter. First of all, is the author actually tryin to assert that modern dairy products inhibit female reproductive ability? This rediculous assertion colors the tone of this whole letter.

Second, the halacha that requires men to fulfill peru urvu, and jewish women, lasheves yetzara, can never be abrogated. And your argument of "ad sheyichle kol haneshamos min hagoof" is faulty and childish. The very fact that mashiach is not here yet proves that we are not done bringing all the neshamos down yet. We cannot stop now, and this letter irresponsibly infers that we can.

Thrid, can't believe that another Jew could make such silly argument as this letter did. The fact that there are negative female role-models in today's modern culture is certinly no argument against Jewish Marriage. Au contraire, this negative role-modeling is precisely a reason that Jewish Young jewish women should be out there, becoming positive role-models for themselves, their peers, and the world in large. We as Jews are meant to change the world, not be changed by it!

Lastly, can only say that this letter is an unsupported, badly-written, and unconvincing attempt to give Jewish Singles the feeling that they are OK where they are, and that there is no reason for them to fix their situation in life. The fact is that there are plenty of "basherts" out there, for everyone, and we must work on ourselves and keep plugging away with hishtadlut, until we find one.

With the blessing of Torah, prayer for us all, and yearning for the Geula,
