Yup, I have’nt read Jaskoll’s article nor do I plan on it.
I am however amazed that there are groups of women who feel that western feminist movements represent “womens progress’ and rights and so forth.
From what I see all Western Feminism has done is cause the complete degradation of wome.
When a certain type of swimsuit was first “invented” they could find no women to “model” it as no Women would display herself in public in such a way.
Now the Feminist movement has proudly turned women into pure “display objects”.
A Hollywood Actress publicly proclaimed a couple of years ago that when she came to Hollywood if a women had participated in certain types of videos she would hide it under her covers, now its her calling card to entry into the new world.
And years ago omen could actually walk outside alone at night, something I would never ever let my daughter do ( unless it was the middle of MEah Shearim where B”h Womens rights have’nt progressed)
So the simple ansewer to the question you posted is,
We wish to preserve a world in which a women has value beyond the years of 15 to 40.
We wish to preserve a world in which Families remain intact and divorce is not par-for the course.
We wish to preserve a world in which the basics facts of life are recognized.
Women and Men look physically different.
Just as they are different physically, so to they are different emotianally.
Just as they are different emotianally so to they are different spiritually.
B”h we have a Torah which requires a Man to strive to fulfill the role suited towards the body and soul he was created with and a woman to fulfill the role that suits the body and soul she was created for.
And B”H we have a Torah that recognizes that alone both a woman and a Man remain incomplete and yet by marrying and joining together they are able to become one.
Our Torah commands us not to strive to creat a partnership, rather to strive to become “one” (Vehoyu L’Busar Echad).
Which means a world where woman and man are not “rivals” competing “against” each other but actually work together towards a mutual goal.
