Wolf, not to be haughty, but this thread is more about me 🙂
Hereorthere, you are clearly misunderstanding what I said.
Many aspects of society (both Jewish and non) influence our children. I want to start young making sure my sons NEVER view women as objects, not that they WILL. There is a big difference. Its like saying I want my kids to keep certain halacha before they are obligated because I don’t want them to think certain things are ok and then have to change. Its important to build a proper foundation – that is what chinuch is all about. I am not aiming to emasculate my sons, just for them to respect that they are no better than women because they were born male.
I also think you don’t understand feminism or the teaching profession. Feminism is about women having the same choices as men (especially as it relates to jobs, salaries etc). A woman CHOOSING to be the breadwinner and support her husband in Kollel is only fully possible because of feminism. Without it, a woman would never be paid a living wage like a breadwinning man is.
Why are so many women teachers? Its because the hours are shorter and they get summers off. They can spend more time with their children. I think they especially enjoy younger children more than most men. Are there competent men who are teachers? Sure. Are there competent women who are math/science people? Yes – you are talking to one of them.
I think your ideas of what feminism are are skewed.
