Hereorthere, I didn’t say all about me, I said MORE. And I put a smiley…I was joking.
The reason I mentioned boys is because I HAVE TWO SONS AND NO DAUGHTERS. It has nothing to do with feminism. You are reading into it. And no, I am not angry at being called a feminist. I think a lot of good has come out of the feminist movement.
Mosherose, if you are who I think you are, what happened to the sweet boy who would spend hours watching sportscenter? Your posts make me laugh!
Cooking is not a task only done by women. It is also done by men (especially bachelors). It is ASSUR for a man to dye his hair. I’ve never heard anyone say its assur for a man to cook.
I actually wonder how the Rambam and Rama manifest itself in today’s day and age. After all, those were tasks that women did in those days and NOT doing them was considered rebellion. But nowadays those are not the tasks everyone does. I mean, do you know anyone (barring a disabled spouse) who washes her husband’s feet? I’m going to ask my Rav about this.
Now there are halachic things that a woman cannot do – like never be part of a minyan. But other than that? The sky is the limit for her.
