This is mainstream Chareidi policy.<BR/><BR/>Now, you've read my blog and probably Mrs. B's blog so you already know that our house doesn't run that way. <BR/><BR/>And you probably also know that I want my daughters to pursue their G-d given talents as much as their brothers (and so far it seems that the girls have been luckier in the talent dept anyway).<BR/><BR/>But according to the Orthodox establishment, men and women have different roles in the family and have to be willing to suppress their own personal agendas to make the family work.<BR/><BR/>I think it's a perversion of this line of thought to say that one needs to be superior to the other, or serve the other.PsychoToddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874353280798371891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13873440.post-1143649415879113862006-03-29T08:23:00.000-08:002006-03-29T08:23:00.000-08:00Mirty: LOL!S.T.: I am sure there are plenty of peo...Mirty: LOL!<BR/><BR/>S.T.: I am sure there are plenty of people who still think this way.

They were teaching the students about "Eishet Hayil" (Woman of Valor) and as I was reading through the coloring booklet that they gave to the girls, I felt like I was transported in time to the 1950's, from the illustrations to the translation that they were using. <BR/>Reading it just made me so uneasy and angry. It read like a carbon copy of this the article.<BR/><BR/>It definitely wasn't what I want my daughter to grow up thinking about herself and her role in a marriage.<BR/><BR/>I know it's suppose to be a beautiful poem that respects women, but the translation that the teacher gave to the girls, certainly did not do that. <BR/><BR/>Now that I know the school better, I am surprised that they passed that out, but otoh, the teacher comes from a very strict, religious family, where herself was in an arranged marriage at age 18 and was expected to take on a submissive role....
