Does it mean he’s a bad person?

He should be put in cherem.

It sure beats suffering X chromosome side effects!!

Still does not prove anything- CDs survive because the women in their lives replace them.

Females may have 2 x chromosomes, but 1 is inactivated, so they do not actually express a double dose. Whether the Y chromosome side effects cancel out the X chromosome side effects, well that will depend on how severe he “suffers” from the Y effect.

RebYidd, I meant that when the female sees the CD lying around, she puts it back in the jacket, when she sees the container uncovered, she covers it. So it all works out in the end. The guys isn’t being bad, just enabling the woman to do what she is best at- creating and protecting.

LU: If you G-d forbid speak lashon hara about yourself, then doesn’t that put others at risk of speaking lashon hara about you too…. and thus assur?

GHD: That’s because you only listen to secular music. Most of us here listen to Jewish music, which is still sold mostly on CDs.

Ooops sorry everyone… I thought I posted to LU in the lashon hara thread… please disregard my last post… thank you ☺

joseph – if youre gonna be nasty, at least be informed. you are totally wrong on this one

Cheers, Syag.

I’ve had this argument numerous times with the wife. It’s not that men are bad, it’s that men value efficiency more then women. And frankly we are taught from an early age that we are supposed to be efficient (that’s the root behind bitul Torah, lack of using time wisely)
So if my dining room table is covered with seforim or other things I anticipate needing, it’s not that I’m “messy” , I’m simply efficient. The wife values the look of cleanliness more then being efficient.
This is true by a lot of things. A great myth is that women are better communicators then men. Not true. They may talk more but that’s not communication. The definition of communication is being able to relay thoughts, and men are way more efficient at that.

Joseph says : ” Most of us here listen to Jewish music, which is still sold mostly on CDs.”

Oopah…!! Surely you mean lots of “secular” genre music with “psukim from Tanach” verses. ( I’m talking the last 15 years )
Plenty of “big” name Jewish stars who stole rock music songs whole, and glued Jewish words to them.
What constitutes Jewish is itself another matter of discussion. Jewish Sefardi music differs from Ashkenazi, at the very least in scales. In any case, most contemporary Jewish music is boring, all sound the same, imitations of one from another, uninspiring . Did I mention uninspiring?
Now I’m copywriting Chubby Checker’s ‘The Twist” into Siman Tov & Mazel Tov.
Get a lawyer if I hear you singing or playing it the next 2nd dance.
Anyway, “most” is guesswork.

I was enjoying this thread until you trotted out the tired old diatribe about “what they call Jewish music today.”

I, for one, have no patience for the highbrows who seem to think that only their taste in music matters.

It’s no coincidence that Ashkenazi music sounds so similar to Eastern European music, while Sefardic music sounds so similar to Arabic music. The fact that you don’t enjoy contemporary singers or find their songs inspiring doesn’t mean that it’s any less Jewish than Regesh, Carlebach, Rabbi’s Sons, or even Yossel Rosenblatt. You can include every Chassidishe nigun from the Baal Shem Tov’s Nigun straight through Modzitz and next year’s Simchas Beis Hashoeiva from Belz in this list. (Honorable mention goes to the Chassidim, who managed to produce the Emperor’s New Album to match his clothes, by saying that “the Rebbe was Mikadeish the Nigun.”)
None of that was inherently “Jewish music” either, and I’m sure that in each generation, the old fuddy duddys complained about “what they call Jewish music today.”

In response to Joseph, nearly all Jewish music for the past ten years, and a lot of the earlier stuff, is available for digital download, and on subscription music apps.

Now back to our regular feature program…

Nobody is perfect, but the Y chromosome seems to give its carrier a more relaxed (dare I say, realistic) attitude about the failings of those around him.

Catch yourself
During my sheva brochos ( first marriage) I learned that my parents had not properly trained me in all manners of proper behavior. Apparently there are very specific ways of closing cereal boxes and even what surfaces car keys can touch. Apparently the X chromosome somehow creates a need for control on all matters considered trivial by Y chromosome carriers.

Rebyid
Was just listening to a Rabbi reisman tape on the middah of netzach. Loosely translated as victory over something and putting it in the past, getting over it. He applied it to shalom bayis by saying that when spouses come and complain to him and say “ I’ve been telling him:her for ten years ….” he responds “so, nu , do you expect change in the next ten years? Just accept it and move on”
