Just read and scanned this thread
Wow
There are at least three issues being jumbled here
Josef posited that women should lose the right to vote.
From his next comments it seems he really meant to say feminism has failed.
Not sure how that equates with the right to vote
They may be connected, they may not.
Someone asked Josef if he has any halachic backing for his position.
Instead of responding “all I said is my opinion is that feminism has been a dismal failure,” he responded with a halachic reference.
For which he was attacked, that that’s an archaic position rendered obsolete by the passage of suffrage!!
He should have responded “who cares! I never stated my opinion based on that, I am just opining that an objective observer would agree that feminism has failed ”
Instead he took the bait and the discussion devolved to whether old halachic opinions carry weight when the facts change.
I want to bring the discussion back to what Josef claims was his original intent (if misleading title)
Does anyone believe that the world is in a better situation now that women have been emancipated from domestic “servitude “?
As a follow up, what about the orthodox Jewish community?
