“I don’t understand why this has become a ‘Crisis’ with a capital C. There are a lot of ways that people can be mean to each other, and a lot of ways in which laws are inequitable toward men and women. People should always be menschen, but there is nothing unique about “gets” that should arouse such an outcry.”
Are there other inequitable laws or other ways that people can be mean which prevent the flourishing of families? This is rightfully termed a “Crisis with a capital C” because it prevents women from remarrying and raising more children. For a different perspective, try comparing the agunah crisis to the shidduch crisis. They’re more similar than you might think.
