“He does not know it, but Berel has the potential to be an incredible nurse”
I am asking maybe there is something inherently good about having different jobs for men and women. And even if berel could have made a great nurse, for the sake of the community as a whole he should not become a nurse.
And even if susan could have made a great police officer, for the sake of society maybe she should not become one (the issue of a woman carrying a weapon and being in a position of authority aside). Maybe thats what the message of what mitzrayim did is saying. That men should do traditional masculin work and women feminine work- at least for Jews.
How do other people interpret what mitzrayim did?
Im not saying for practical reasons not to have male nurses and female doctors- but to davka make it 50-50 for political reasons- as if to obliterate gender roles not for practicality but to make a social-spiritual statement.
