There goes my dan l’kaf zchus.
You said earlier (I do hate to have to repeat it) that the Gemara’s statements may be reflective of the social beliefs of the time, and therefore no longer currently relevant. That was quite bad enough. So I said the meforshim will often explain differently. So now you’re saying that the meforshim are explaining according to their times. So now you’re saying that the meforshim are often whitewashing the Gemara’s intentions ?!
No, it would not be saying women are intrinsically inferior to say they have a tendency to be lazy. If I wrote some of the issues men tend to have I doubt people would get worked up. It makes perfect sense that they have different tendencies. If all you’d mean is that you have a problem accepting that they have this tendency, that’s a different story.
Respect for who ? You think you’re being respectful of Chazal, or anyone here, by not quoting a statement of Chazal ? How sick is that.
If you’d like to quote a specific Rambam – after having studied the classical commentaries – which you have issue with, then you’d be able to carry on a discussion (one which I personally have no particular inclination to have). Until then, its just rhetoric.
