“I get my sense of morality from what chazal say.”
Yes but Chazal were living in a time where women were considered less important than men were. Why can’t we say that the Chazal were influenced by the general societies they lived in. Or say that they were in retrospect immoral as regards to their views of women, being on the same level of children, and amei aretz.
Do you beleive that to be true?
Because I don’t. Yes there are differences between the sexes but I dont’ consider myself automatically smarter or more qualifies than my frum neighbor, who owns a global software company that she is the brains behind, growing it from a hubby and wife consulting team to employing thousands of people world wide.
“bit weird to say that chazal’s thinking about women was influenced by the drunken goyim in their Babylonian villages “
didn’t say that. Are all goyim drunkards are you saying.
Just like today we are influenced by outside society so were they.
