“That’s exactly what was said in the very first post the Rambam was cited on this thread. So the context was here right from the beginning”
Sigh…
I knew this was coming.
There are 2 contexts that are at issue here:
1) The context in which the Halacha was cited which leads to an erroneous conclusion regarding how the Torah views women.
2) The context of how to properly understand this specific Halacha in light of all the other relevant Maamrai Chazal dealing with the issue at hand.
Nobody misunderstood the specific Halacha itself and context has nothing to do with it.
