Reply To: Vicarious Accomplishment of Women

“Yiddishe Tam “By nature women are “motherly” My 3 year old runs to feed her baby doll it’s bottle while I’m feeding the baby. It’s a natural instinct.”

My son did this at 2 years old as well. Only he attempted to nurse the baby. Kids mimic what they see – that has nothing to do with gender.”

Exactly. I’ve seen my nephews pushing baby carriages and try to nurse dolls as well.

“Rabbi Tatz and Rabbi Gottleib both have highly intellectual and thorough tapes on the roles of men and women. They are worth getting and listening to because they explain many things being discussed here. “

Syag l’chochma, I haven’t heard all of them, but I’ve heard enough (and read enough) to know that they’re all communicating the same premises (I’m sure there are some exceptions). Some do it with better vocabulary and some are better at disguising the supportive and passive role of women with very nice, inspirational, poetic words.

But the more you dress up, adorn, and try sell the “exalted role of the Jewish women” the more I suspect they’re afraid women won’t buy it.

Kind of like all the extra advertising you need to sell a faulty product.

Where are all the lectures about “A Man’s Tafkid in the Home”?
