    Any Jew qualified for public benefits should accept every penny he’s legally entitled to. Regardless of his employment status.

    It seems to me that the OP’s scenario is not significantly different than if a guy is very interested in the girl from around the corner but he becomes aware that the interest isn’t reciprocal.

    N0m: What’s your comment have to do with my point or address it in any way? There will be good and not good therapists regardless if they service both genders or only one gender. But if they service only their own gender, they’ll have less opportunity to sin or have Yichud.

    Your example of the male therapist specializing in troubled girls makes my case. If the community wouldn’t tolerate opposite gender therapists, he would have been denied the ability to have inappropriately acted as you described.

    n0m: I don’t see any coherent rational in your comment why if our communities had firm expectations that male therapists would only service males and that female therapists would only service females, how that would entail any significant loss, while its benefits, whatever their limitations, are clear.

    About that controversial topic, n0m, I had submitted several days ago a very pareve response to your Titanic-type scenario, on the old thread. But the mods apparently, in their infinite wisdom, deemed it insufficiently feminist to even permit the halachic thought to see the light of day.

    Very simple solution:

    Jewish male therapists should only take male clients, if individual privacy is required for sessions, and Jewish female therapists should only accept female clients.

    And, then, they can all be therapists. There are enough of both genders to cater to each one.

    Problem solved. Next topic, please.

    Bravo! The OP, Romain, is 100% correct.

    The US should put sanctions on Israel for its human rights violations against Chareidim.

    N0m: Would therapy in a glass see-through office/conference room that is completely sound-proof to the outside, that has people milling about outside able to see but unable to hear anything, be convoluted? It would seem the privacy is preserved.

    Avira, isn’t 1/5 and 1/10, in mathematical terms, considered to be a percentage? I’m saying the same percentage for everyone. But that means the rich (individually) pay more real dollars than the middle class. And proportionally so.

    Even with the context of what this thread is discussing, Syag is dead wrong. She openly admits above that the case against him isn’t certain (she says “there is less than 5% chance of it being false report”; the likelihood is much greater than she’s willing to admit, but her admission is sufficient.) Yet she’s willing to publicly condemn him as guilty by calling him a potential pedophile in an open forum and even goes so far to condemn anyone else who dares to defend the reputation of a man she admits may be innocent.

    Syag, what in heaven’s name are you ranting about? This is a generic conversation not regarding any particular case. If this is discussing a specific situation, I have no idea which one. Nothing indicated it was.

    “I doubt you have any idea how many more people have committed suicide as a result of being the victim of such crimes than as a result of having been accused of them.”

    And that gives you the right to potentially falsely accuse in the public arena?

    There are Asperger’s people all over the place. 1/3 of them don’t even know they have Asperger’s, 1/3 of them know but don’t care or do anything about it and the last 1/3 runs around getting treated.

    The very idea that Asperger’s is part of the autism spectrum itself is relatively newfangled.

    “A possible case may be made that trade will make life of Cuban people better”

    That’s really the entire case. Sanctions cause that innocent civilians to suffer. Usually the regime is living in luxury despite the sanctions. And sanctions have historically NOT effected regime change. That much is proven. So what exactly IS gained with the sanctions?

    Asperger’s is normal. There’s no more reason to share that he or she has Asperger’s than he would share that he’s colorblind, has an ingrown toenail, a toothache, he’s a lefty, he’s underweight, he had his gallbladder or wisdom tooth removed, etc.

    1. It isn’t limited to Jews or Orthodox. Non-Jews with the condition don’t usually purposely wear it on their sleeves.

    2. You could ask the exact same question about lack of “openness” regarding those diagnosed with schizophrenia, depression, bipolar, psychosis, anorexia and any number of other conditions.
