Of course I do. However, I still have the right to take issue with you claiming men are responsible for women’s mistakes.

Just to clarify: the sun / moon comment was said tongue in cheek. Zeh l’umas zeh, I figured that if you can blame me with cherry-picked chazals for the evils of the world, I can throw it right back at you. But, it was tongue in cheek. You can argue back that woman caused the first sin, etc. I’m not giving you ideas, I have more such pointless arguments up my sleeve.

Yes, we all know how girls are expected to learn for 9 hours a day from 11th or 12th grade until three or four years after high school, while boys spend maybe half that amount of time in school, both in hours per day and in total amount of years… oh wait! It’s the other way around! Silly me.

Yes, we all know how girls are expected to somehow be a mother, wife, and hard worker who earns enough to support a family, unless lucky enough to have rich parents…

Seriously speaking, boys have things that they get pressured on too. Nobody got off easy in this world, as green as the grass on the other side may seem.

You are right here. We have different nisyonos. I guess my point here is that we should each work on our own nisyonos, instead of trying to tell others what they think they should be doing.

I wish I was so successful 🙂

Thanks. I know that you didn’t mean to be as condescending as you sounded, and I appreciate your expressing your point of view and not giving up explaining yourself when the going got tough.
