thank god we have more people encouraging these people to marry their own. That way, it keeps them at bay, away from us gentiles.

Part III: It is sad but Orthodoxy engages in ANTI-MALE PROPOGANDA to ignore this issue. I went to an event where Orthodox women write books that say Jewish women are six times better then men and that women WOULD NEVER INTERMARRY. Which is just not true. I agree. Some men intermarry as well but Orthodoxy pretend that ONLY MEN WOULD INTERMARRY and women never would which is just not true and call a man a women hater who raises this issue. All I know it is a problem with both genders.

Part II: This whole idea that men couldn't marry nonjews which during the time of Ezra when (I don't think it was common) but Jews could marry more then one women and therefore would marry a Jewish women and then marry another women who wasn't Jewish. But when polygomy is outlawed as it is today the dynamics are different and if women marry nonjews the child ALSO SHOULD HAVE TO BE CONVERTED TO BE JEWISH. Otherwise, women will sometimes marry nonjewish men knowing their is no consequeces to it.

Part I:THe problem is EVEN ORTHODOXY is not honest about intermarriage. The fact is Jewish women can marry nonjews and for the most part THERE IS FEW CONSEQUENCES. I have seen it myself the women know they can marry nonjews and there kid will still be Jewish. If men see women doing it then what are they suppose to do. THey want to get married as well and would prefer a Jewish women but if they see Jewish women marrying nonjews what are they suppose to do.
