joseph, you really need to learn reading comprehension. seriously.
you are implying that i think that the torah is outdated. never said anything of the sort. what i did say, which is true, is that what is considered regal has changed. the pasuk says a women should be reagl, not that a women should be in a house. if that is what god wanted, he would have said so. he didnt, he left it ambiguous for a reason, because ambiguous leaves open for change. in the times fo the gemora and even the rambam, and i would say even rav moshe, women stayed home, even goyim. but today they dont. even royal family women go out and work, albeit its usually charity work, but work in of itself. and taht the chofetz chaims wife worked in a store in their house, says who. from all storeis i heard, that is not true. the store was in the judengraiz, which was the jewish main street. like our ave j. yerushalyim was filled with men an women in the market place. ill prove it froma gemora, the one that talks about pulling the hair covering of a women in the marketplace, if you are chayiv to pay for boosha. if women halachically have to be home, then what were they doing in the markket place to begin with.
and btw, im a registered conservative, and no amount of american liberalism, aka progressivism, aka socialism, aka nazism, aka obamaism, is anywhere in my life. i am a nra member, and believe in reality. you dont, and that is your choice. fine. but dont take us all down with you!
that post that you qouted, although very artsy, but is irrelavent. teh times changing, and certain mannerisms changing, as long as they still fall in line with halacha, and not what you consider to be halacha, but is really just chumros or gedarim, is fine.
