Reply To: Why do women like flowers?

Advising a wife (or children) to ask the husband about a halachic or hashkafic issue shouldn’t be any more insulting to females than advising to ask your rabbi. A husband is the halachic authority in the home. That is part of the normal duties of a husband/father. His wife should be consulting him on halachic questions. If a rabbi needs to be consulted, it is part of his responsibilities to make that inquiry.
