Joseph, I use strong words because I strongly suspect that you are mistreating the women in your life. The fact that I’m unwilling to look up the sources in this busy time is totally NOT proof that these verses I spoke about don’t exist in the Torah or Rabbinical writings.

The FACT is that you are denying that what I wrote exists, just because I haven’t quoted the exact sources (at this point in time, I should add) and you SELECTIVELY choose only those sources that appear as if the Torah says that the husband is master OVER and rules OVER the wife. It is very misleading.

I have no problem with people having different opinions and I strongly advocate for that (and thanks for saying thanks). BUT that does not mean that the Torah’s sources can be used to advance one’s agenda of mistreating people.

So just to clear up what may be my misconception regarding your view of the Torah’s view on the relationship between men and women, I ask you the same question as Chabadshlucha asked you. What do you mean by women being subservient to men?
