Full Version: Ammunition For Anti-Orthodox
Anyone else think that the learned have more ammunition against Orthodoxy than the ignorant? I mean before I got to this site, I had no idea that the gemerah says women are lazy and/or stupid and that we are compared to steak.

I've never heard of this one, but if I were a woman I'd be flattered, considering how much men love steak.
Yea, steak is a good thing

Agreed, I can't think of a more complimentary term of endearment....

The context is that her husband can do with her as he pleases:
QUOTE (Soncino)
R. Johanan said: The above is the view of R. Johanan b. Dahabai; but our Sages said: The halachah is not as R. Johanan b. Dahabai, but a man may do whatever he pleases with his wife [at intercourse]: A parable; Meat which comes from the abattoir, may be eaten salted, roasted, cooked or seethed

I'd rather smell like a steak than Chanel No. 5 (or any other perfume).

Oh yes. Even better!
If women are steak, then men are potatoes no? Sometimes half-baked potatoes...

With that kind of statements, is it any surprise someone would say "hashmed et hachared" or "dros kol dos"?(someone else can translate if they wish...)

You're not doubting they knew the subject ...
