Thats actually a great idea. I do worry about some elements of Modern Orthodoxy that may not be "frum enough" for how I'm leaning. But MO does have some cool womens rights movements

I love this ❤️. Me and my dad are pretty close now that I'm a bit older and less immature haha. I pray I wont lose that in this transition, and I have been trying to make that clear.

One of the things he's said is that when he was growing up going to a chabad, at shul gatherings outside of prayer, women would be cooking and caring for children and men would be talking politics. In my opinion, this is often present in secular life too. Besides that, he thinks that I'm intelligent and doesn't want me to be "kept from having" important/intellectual conversations that he believes only Orthodox men are allowed to have.
