DY: Thank you. That is the point precisely.
popa: In other words, your objection is not that it’s an innovation but that you don’t like it.
Yes. And I don’t like it for two (or more) reasons: (A) it is being innovated for a treif reason, (B) the innovators are being idiots in not deferring to much greater authorities.
Fair enough. I have nothing to say to that. In your own words “now we’re just spouting boych svaros and I like my boych.” 🙂
Do you really have nothing to say to that? Do you personally think that they are motivated by something aside from feminism?
There are empirical studies you could do which would cast light on this, you know.
You might wonder what other areas they have innovated in. If they are mostly feminist areas, that would be telling.
You might wonder whether they are generally more excited about making parties to thank Hashem for chassadim. For example, if these people are also making parties and saying tehillim at them when they get a job, or graduate college, or whatever, that would be telling also.
