Joseph, we like every single Chazal. We frum women are not trying to become dayanim and poskim, we are happy the way we are, with the daas we we’re created with and for the purpose we were created for. What we don’t like is YOUR continuous interpretations of Chazal and other Torah sources that denigrate women. For me personally, as someone who has suffered from controlling individuals, this type of weird obsession of yours of how superior men are to women shows something much deeper – it shows that you disrespect and try to cheapen women. It is worrisome if you have a wife or daughters. Some have pointed out that it is doubtful that there exists women in your life…
Either way, continuously talking in a denigrating way regarding women ( like only women are scared of bears…remember this recent moiredige comment of yours?) is senseless sinas chinum that serves no purpose. Today is the day to remember that the Bais Hamikdosh was destroyed because of sinas chinum and by you trying to hide your sinas chinum behind Torah sources is particularly offensive. Sinas chinum’s only purpose is for individuals to feel superior that they are more chushev than “inferior” individuals. And usually this krum mentality involves mental, physical and/or emotional abuse of others when it is within the power of the superior feeling individual to do so.
This topic of what “daton kalos” means and what the halachic ramications are is actually an interesting one. Since it’s Tisha BaAv I won’t go into the topic itself. The only bothersome thing with topics like these is when one has an agenda behind these threads. There are people who ask “where is Hashem?” And there are people who ask “where is Hashem?” People can have the same questions but what their intentions are behind the questions and behind bringing up topics can be very different.
