Reply To: A real debate about women

MDG, what tsniut issue??!!

Lior, it is interesting that you, a man I presume, say, “There is no reason why women should be in the public spotlight, something contrary to Jewish tradition and law.”

Devorah & Shlomtzion are contrary to Jewish tradition?

I do not subscribe to the common (and infuriating) liberal fallacy that confuses equality with uniformity and presumes that an absence of the latter means a lack of the former. But neither is there any reason why women who are half of the tzibbur cannot represent the tzibbur equally well (or poorly, I suppose) as men. Something rankles me when women are deemed fit to work, support their families, pay taxes and vote, and otherwise do as they’re told, but are considered unsuited to stand for public office.
