jfem02: Oh NO… I need to try for some clarity here, like rereading my posts to make sure I’m not insulting people.
I was NOT talking to you. I was talking to the male chauvinist who thought that girls didn’t have higher order thinking skills.
(That is the first time I have ever called someone a male chauvinist. It will probably be the last.)
I definitely think that we have equal right to respond over here. And I definitely remember that thread :). I never actually POSTED on it… maybe I should have, just to dilute the Y chromosomes.
abc: If that’s the case, and you really think you aren’t gaining and you need help (anyone who only started something as complex as gemara 8 months ago probably needs some help), then I have no idea by what kind of mechanism you got your current chavrusa, but maybe you can use the system to get a new one.
Are your chavrusas at the same level as you, or have they been learning longer? Can you arrange for a chavrusa who will specifically help you?
Hatzlacha!
