That is another thing that Roshei Yeshivas did not consider when they sent our Bnos Yisroel out into the REAL world to make parnasha for their kolel yungerman! Seriously, maybe women who choose to go out to work because they want a career are also a little more savvy about what to expect in the real world and how to handle themselves. They are also aware of Equal Opportunity laws, and laws pertaining to sexual harrassment on the job. But are Kolel wives as informed? Are they trained in these issues? Do they know how to protect themselves and what to do even if they work in a frum environment and are challenged by these issues? YES these things do happen in frum environments and frum men do have problems with “loose hands” so to speak, and loose tongues as well.
Women who are not prepared to “fend” for themselves are ashamed to come home and tell their husbands because they are afraid of losing the parnasa their husbands are counting on, so they feel they are stuck between a rock and a hard place and don’t know where to turn. They don’t want to “masser” on their employer and they don’t want to dissappoint their husbands.
