I do think it’s important to add that I think that many women nowadays are often made to feel the opposite – that women aren’t important, etc. There are many sources that seem to imply that. And that is why women need to have the other sources stressed to them (the ones that talk about the greatness of women) in order to build up their self esteem (which is crucial for one’s Avodas Hashem) and get upset when the other sources are quoted too much or without explanation.
But it is entirely possible that sometimes the opposite happens as well, and in the desire to build up women’s self-esteem, people end up going to the opposite extreme. Both as a girl and as a result of the type of circles I am in, I have seen much more of the first problem than the second. But it is very possible that the second problem exists as well. It is not something I would be likely to know about.
