RebYidd23: “Maybe for radical feminists like you, lilmod ulelamaid, women have freedom to learn and to drive instead of mindlessly obeying their husbands and attending to his every want while somehow also managing a household.”
??! I assume you are joking, but you should be careful about making jokes like that online, since there are many people in cyberspace who have serious misconceptions regarding Judaism’s views on this topic and might take you seriously.
The term feminist in the Jewish world is generally used to refer to people who think that women are not treated fairly and therefore changes have to be made. I, on the other hand, do not think that changes must or should be made since I think that the woman’s role in Judaism is a highly-respectable position and it is demeaning to women to think and act in a way that indicates otherwise.
