Syag: I get annoyed when people encourage girls’ going to shul over “wasting time at home.” If they are wasting time at home, then they should be encouraged not to waste time at home. I think that by telling them to go to shul, you further exacerbating this problem by encouraging them (though unintentionally) to see their going to shul of more value than their helping out at home. Which is I think a major impetus in their being confused and doing dumb things.
I am of course not saying this out of some warped desire to keep women shut up in their homes. I think it quite praiseworthy for a woman to go to shul, etc., but only if she can do it in conjunction with her other responsibilities.
