The BY girls in particular, are taught to treat their brothers and husbands like G-d, as a way of showing Kabod HaTorah.
I’ve heard of husbands who will not take out the garbage, because it’s not Kavod HaTorah. And there are yeshiva bachurim who won’t wash a single plate, or sweep up a floor because it’s not Kavod HaTorah. These are homes where the mother/sister/wife is taught that she’s actually showing respect for Torah by treating him like G-d, and they won’t even ask the guy to help with these tasks cuz it’s not Kavod for a Ben Torah. Please.
Respecting a ben torah does not mean being his servant. And it really gets under my skin when these girls go along with it.
