Moti, it's attitudes like yours that are a huge part of the problem. Not necessarily will that kind of character cause this, but it's being told again and again that you're one for wanting more rights turns you into one. It's a chicken and egg question. I really don't think it matters why expectatio...

I do think that expectations is a result of feminism but it's not that important what caused it. But you're raising a different issue entirely. That it's the women that are pushing back on feminism. I guess there might be some truth to this because of the way girls in our community are raised, never...

אליבא דאמת האט געשריבן:איך האב לעצטענס באקומען א לינק צו א נייע בלאג, ער ריפט זיך ''באראפארקער'' און ער שרייבט אייזענער פון אייזן.
יעצט שרייבט ער וועגן די אומגליקליכע אסיפה. כאפטס א בליק

Thanks for the link. Will elaborate when I have more time.

יאיר, I think it's impossible to discuss the שלום בית problems without discussing feminism. It has undeniably had a role in shaping society and expectations. You can call that one of the טענות the women have. That our society is so reluctant to move that way and the idea of equality is so vilified.

Fascinating conversation you have going on here. I'm sorry for writing in English but it's much easier for me to express myself in English. Here's the thing. Within our social construct there's no acknowledgement at all of the women's needs. Even the way you guys are suggesting tznius should be taug...

This debate has no relation whatsoever with the sanctity of marriage, sanctity of ego and control maybe. The debate over feminism is a moral one. Is it moral to subordinate half of the population? The other side of the debate says that it is because it's for the betterment of society. Having said t...

נישט געדאגעט. די ציגן וועלן זיך ציגעווינען.

So someone starts a thread on my name and you all take me to task. I was addressing a sexist comments in the other thread, not this question. But I thought it was ironic that you guys opened a separate thread for me within the context of this question so pointed out how vast the cultural separation ...

I'd go even further than the language and say that the culture is so vastly different. You can think the men and women are raised in different religions even. Some find the differences endearing while for others it's a real barrier.

This is precisely the reason. When people come from such different worlds, where even the language is a barrier, you'll have less happy couples.

Apples ad here's to the crazy ones

און דער המון עם איז ענהאלטן פין פשוטע מענשטן. די קלוגע זענען די מיעוט. איז מיינען אינז אז אלע קלוגע זענען משוגע וויל זיי זענען אנדערש פונעם רוב.

אפשר איז עס פארקערט. די המון עם פארשטייט נישט די קליגערע מיינט ער אז ער׳ס משוגע.

It's not such a bad thing that people are getting out of bad situations? Why should they remain stuck? And the fact that women are more financially independent today gives them the freedom to do this.
הלכות גיטין exists for a reason. We're not Christians or Hindus.

I think we both think marriage how it was is a thing from the past. But you call that a destruction. Do you think it's a bad thing? It seems like you wish it wasn't this way while I and most moral people ( I hope) think it's progression. Oh, געפולטע פוש, I'm just trying to point out how deranged he ...

Why is it degrading to be equal in a home of children? Maybe it's degrading for her to be subordinate ? And I'm really confused. What's more than a slave that you're paying for? So she is partially a slave but does more for you than a slave?

They should be the ones to decide if they want to fulfill pre defined roles.
I take more of an issue with what diff said. He's not marrying a woman for friendship. Does that mean that all he wants is a slave and baby machine? I'm confused.

And what are the benefits of being financially dependent on someone else הקטן? Me thinks financial independence is a good thing. What other benefits did wives have before the destruction ?

You say before the worlds destruction by feminists. So you think women shouldn't be able to vote, get paid less for the same work, not have their husbands support and presence during labor and child birth? You know that you benefit a lot from this destruction. Aren't you glad they can vote to ensure...

Excuse me, Diff. That's sexist. Did you ever think what it's like to be on the other side? You never try to take other peoples feelings into consideration? Do you only live your life taking advantage of others for your benefits?

Thank you, Starbucks, it's really nice of you!

On a side note, it really is my fault. I was afraid to put myself forward as a woman fearing precisely these types of comments. I guess that I should have put myself out there a long time ago and stand for who I really am.

You're quite a sexist, don't you think?

My husband showed me yesterday a new FB group called " Yiddishkeit " and apparently there are many users there that are FFB but as many young people nowadays, are unfortunately full of doubts as it relates to all that we consider holy. What sets this group apart is that those that opened t...
