Arosem;

I did not twist your words (Words cannot be twisted anyway. They can be lied about or mocked, but not ‘twsited’).

You made false statements about what I supposedly said and I pointed that out.


“Firstly, I never said anything about the corruption that may lie behind some people, both men and women, when they involve the courts in their private relationships.”


Well I did, and you falsly claimed that I had supposedly said that there is never any abuse in marriages and I never said anything like that.


“I think, though, that it is a far stretch to even say that this is the case most of the time.”


That is what you WANT to believe, that does not make it true.


” Do you honestly believe that so many people are so malicious in their pursuits for wealth and control?”


Absolutely, just look at all the crime stats.

Something like 65% of those responding to poll at a big well known University (I think it was Harvard)said that they thought it was OK, to cheat on a test.

Look at the popularity of movies and TV shows promoting evil like “Breaking Bad” (the daily lives and adventures of drug dealers).


“I think that perhaps many more of the people that you assume to be seeking out divorce deserve the benefit of the doubt that there are indeed serious problems involved.


The same could be said of those who get abortions or say Loshon Hara (of which there is plenty in many doviorces).


“But if you look back to my original post, I never claimed that people never lie to get their way in court. A statement like that would be just as crazy as claiming that abuse never happens in a given community.”


And yet in your first post to me, you falsly claimed that I had supposedly said that.


“Secondly, I think that your definition of feminism is a little off. I know that this is not the place for such a discussion, but I will just say that siding with a woman does not automatically equal a feminist agenda (although depending on the motivation it can be, but may very well have nothing to do with what feminism actually is). ”


You are doing it again.

That is not my definition of feminism.

Nowhere did I EVER say that anyone who EVER sides with any woman in any situation, was a feminist.

In fact in a another thread I pointed out that feminists were against women truly succeeding, when they did it on their own and were conservatives like Sarah Palin.

But someone who sides a with woman, when it may be questionable whether in a particular case, it is following Torah or not, and who will make excuses and attack those who point out that it may be wrong in ‘that’ case, or who make false accusations against anyone (like you did to me) me who does not toe the feminist line is obviously a feminist.
