“hereorthere: “It will just bring out the flaws and endlesly analyse them without accomplishing anything”

There is a time and a place for evrything which by definition means, for each thing, there are times and places where it is wrong to do.

“hereorthere,

What is wrong with a woman becoming a doctor? I can think of few other careers in which one is constanly performing mitzvah after mitzvah after mitzvah after mitzvah. My wife finished her medical residency shortly before we met.”

Did you on another thread complain about being a poker player?

And how much Chazal would disapprove?

I never said there was anything wrong with her being a doctor.

I said that anyone who thinks that if her husband does not PUSH her to do it, that he must be some kind of “woman hater” is someone I think is going off the derech and you would be hard peressed to find any Gadol who would say otherwise.

By the way since you bring it up not everything where someoe can accomplish something is necessarily something that just anyone should do.

For example I think being an astronaut, is a very nobel profession expanidng the frontiers of knowledge about the universe and promoting knowledge of the wonders beyond our own planet, but that does not mean a JEW should be the one doing it because of problems keeping Shabbos and similar issues.

Who says a woman is accomplishing so much by being a doctor and not raising her own kids who then G-d forbid, fry out, or pretend to ‘stay frum’ when in fact they really are far from it and living a lie?

And I personally know someone in a situation where they have no clue as to the fact that their kids are goiong way off the derech because they are not there for them, when they should be.
