PBA: That is my definition of Orthodox as well. Hence, a woman who wants to do something that Hashem wants (or permits and wants as an Einah Metzuvah V’osah) should be allowed to do it and should not be stopped by society. That is the extent and entirety of my “feminism”.

….If that is what Hashem wants, I assume you mean.

Now, I’m a bit wondering what you are aiming at here. You seem to be conflating what is muttar in certain sugyos with what is muttar in other sugyos.

Meaning, just because something is muttar in denei lulav, does not mean it is muttar in dinei shabbos. Just because in dinei mezuman women are allowed to make a mezuman, does not mean that in hashkafa they are allowed to. And that is the case here.

But more importantly, just because they are allowed to in halacha, does not mean that the ones who do it for reasons of challenging Hashem, are not being reshaim. They are.

Why don’t you tell me what you are referring to?

Do you think that rabbonim are making up halacha and saying that things are assur which are not? I have never heard of this.

Do you think that rabbonim are saying something is assur for hashkafic reasons when it is muttar in halacha? That is happening, and it sounds pretty normal to me–I don’t understand your objection.
