mariner, You are wrong. Both historically and halachically. Shulchan Orach and Rambam amongst a whole host of others are VERY CLEAR about this. See the previous page for the quotes and mekoros. No one said they can NEVER go out. Rambam suggests once or twice a month. But to you Rambam and Shulchan Orach are “outdated.” But at least get your facts straight. For example, the Chofetz Chaim’s wifes grocery was at HOME (regardless “from all storeis i heard.”)
You are religiously a liberal (unfortunately, despite your being in denial), no one is talking politically.
The Reforms also keep yelling about “is irrelavent. teh times changing.” Shulchan Orach and Rambam are talking HALACHA not chumros or “mannerisms.” Why don’t you open up a Shulchan Orach and Rambam so at least you’ll know what you are talking about, instead of just spewing the latest propaganda from the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance.
mariner: “that post that you qouted [from Shulchan Orach, Rambam and the Gemora], although very artsy, but is irrelavent.”
NO PART of the Torah is EVER IRRELEVANT.
