eclipse – actually, i never undersood why do most women now have the added curse of b’zaas apecha – even if it is done willingly. we don’t see men have the additional curse of pregnancy and labor. i know that many women choose to work for various reasons, but at the end of the day, it was a curse!!!!
i’m not asking why individual women work – it’s more of a philosophical question – i just don’t get it.
(by the way, i strongly feel that if a woman chooses to work in order to support her husband, husband should be extremely grateful, and when woman feels that it is too much, husband should help out with parnassah or take over the responsibility. how to fit all this in with learning, need for something to live on, etc. etc. – i don’t know. i find this whole issue a very complicated issue.
