Jewish males, for various reasons, weren't always ritually circumcised (but they're still Jews). Which implies that there's a symbol created by a sacred ritual, and a reality that the symbol is designed to reflect in some manner. The same concept would apply to menopausal women, except that by bringing them up, you open up a significant difference between
hafat dam brit (or the blood of circumcision in general) versus female menopause. Menopausal women can't birth offspring. So when the blood flow ceases, so does the need to cleanse their ovum from the sin of
ha-dam. After menopause we don't worry about them bringing sinners or heathen (
goyim) into the world to raise more Cain.
The significance of this fact is that meiosis and polar body (the purpose for menopause) are real, biological, purifying, processes, that truly purify the ovum (really and not just ritually), so that if it could begin to split, without the male seed initiating that process, the person who was conceived that way would literally, not religiously, spiritually, or ritually, but really, be immortal. In effect he would be a living stem-cell without the processes that cause senescence and aging.
Accidental cell death was around from the very first appearance of anything we would call life. Death of the organism through senescence ---programmed death----- makes its appearance in evolution at about the same time that sexual reproduction appears.
Professor William R. Clark, Sex and the Origins of Death. p. 62-63.
Embryonic stem cells develop when the female ovum is fertilized by the male sperm. The early cell-division creates what are known as "totipotent" (or pluripotent) cells. These cells can become any specific cell in the human body. As cell-division continues, the stem cells lose the ability to become any cell. They also only then develop the death-gene that causes aging and death. The cells, after a particular number of divisions, become multipotent cells that have specific instructions about what kind of cell they can become. The female ova, post meiosis and polar body, pre-fertilization, are "omnipotent" stem cells. They're immortal, since up until a certain point in the developing fetus, senescence and mortality don't kick in. Professor Clark, who's a Phd biologist and an atheist points this out.
Furthermore, we know that it's the male seed that both causes the initial cell-division to start, and also causes the start of aging and inescapable programmed death, since prior to the evolution of the fake-female, the facade of masculinity, and its phallic-sexuality, cell-division as replication and reproduction produced immortal offspring who didn't age, or die of senescence (some such organism still remain today). The Bible gets it right. Life was immortal until sex.
Which leads back into your paralleling of menopause and
hafat dam brit (more generally the blood of circumcision).
After meiosis and polar body, the female ovum is the only cell in the human body that no longer contains the aging gene. Stem-cells take advantage of that fact, except that the ovum must be fertilized to produce stem-cells, such that you have to get to them early before the immortality of the cell is lost through further cell-division and development. What this means is that female menstruation is a true, biological, cleansing process. It's a biological
mikveh. Once the cell goes through the
mikveh it's cleansed of
ha-adam's sin, the sin related to sex, and is ready for the next sin, the next act of sex.
Male circumcision blood is a ritual cleansing only, unless some Jewish maiden, and her bridegroom, suddenly announce that she's become pregnant during the betrothal without any sexual shenanigans taking place behind closed doors or in secret. In that case, every other case of circumcsion blood (and naturally there are cases and cases of it), though purely ritualistic/symbolic, becomes a sign אות of a reality which, after the actuality, retroactively activates the utter of reality of every single case of circumcision blood ever drawn.
Therein circumcision blood, male menstruation, becomes as real, genuinely efficacious, as female menstruation, since then the Jewish maiden's ovum begins to split on its own such that the fidelity and gentlemanliness of her circumcised bridegroom shines a light on his Jewishness, and particularly that his male organ was marked with the sign that something so unheard of (Isa. 66:8-9) isn't just a remote possibility of occurrence in billions of births, but that it will eventually occur, and that occurrence will be to a Jewish maiden with a circumcised bridegroom.
Circumcision marks the fact that female menstruation was designed for a real purpose. The ovum is pure, has passed through the
mikveh (after meiosis and polar body), for a real reason. And the real reason is related to a Jewish maiden, not a Gentile maiden, so that when it does occurs, to a Jewish maiden, whose bridegroom is marked with the mark signifying the male side is purified, i.e., the blood of circumcision, then, retroactively, every act of ritual, symbolic, circumcision, will become as real as the fact that a Jewish maiden's ovum began to split, divide, after meiosis and polar body (menstruation), and in line with the idea of the blood of circumcision representing the purification of the firstborn through elimination of the flesh, and seed, that caused the human race to start raising Cain in the first place.
