Kasha thanks for your compliment and thank you for being accomodating and repeating your sources. The reason I asked you for the posuk and the meforshim is because you have not retreated in the face of very logical arguments and therefore I thought I missed something regarding your sources.
1. as I’ve mentioned before, there is no explicit posuk in the Torah stating that a man rules over his wife
2. we have chewed through a lot of the meforshim, whether it was the Rambam, Torah Temima and other meforshim where Wolf and I, who are are the same page regarding the subject of feminism, presented not only logical arguments but the reality as well.
For example; while the Rambam said that a man can divorce a woman if she doesn’ wash his feet, I have stressed that in these times no Rabbi would agree that a man should divorce his wife because of that reason. There are numerous such instances that halacha, while unchanging, is clearly applied differently than years ago.
I will bring a different example as well. According to halacha a man is allowed to have more than one wife. While cherem d’Rabbeinu Gershum was adopted it there never was an outright halacha ossuring a man from having multiple wives. In fact in Teiman, until very recently men had more than one wife. Why did that change? More specificly why did the Taimany adopt the practice of only marrying one wife if the cherem d’Rabbeini Gershem was never adopted as their minhag? Simply put, halacha does not change, but minhag hamokom changes the way we apply halacha. The accepted APPLICATION of halacha can change(not halacha itself, but the application of it)to a stricter or more lenient practice – that’s called minhugim. Sorry, but minhugim do exist and they can sometimes clearly clash with halacha. An example of such a case would be where some families eat a kasieos afikomin after chatzos which is clearly against halacha.
Kasha, while in theory your arguments are strong, it is not the reality.
