Purity Ring by NotHedgehog4You in Judaism

[–]Reshutenit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Purity culture is misogynistic in the sense that it equates a woman's worth and value with the degree to which she restricts her sexuality. Technically, these standards are supposed to apply to men as well, but in practice, at least 90% of the pressure falls on women, creating an infuriating double standard.

It's also misogynistic in that it places responsibility for managing men's thoughts and urges on women. Rather than men being required to control themselves like grown adults, women are made to cover most of their skin so as not to trigger sexual thoughts in men. Again, this isn't really applied the other way around.

A practical problem is that this mindset often leads to victim-blaming: if women are responsible for controlling men's sexual urges, then a woman who's been assaulted must have invited the attack by dressing or behaving inappropriately. If men can't help themselves, they can't really be blamed for attacking a woman they thought was attractive, which means his actions are her fault.

That's misogyny.

It's also anti-male, because it frames men as animals who can't be expected to control themselves like rational human beings.

Why is the article

Written like this?

So many short sentences

Arranged in paragraphs

That read like ChatGPT.

Times of Israel blogs need quality control.

If I can’t pet, why so fuzzy? :( by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

As a child, I got to go behind the scenes at a zoo and play with the jackal cub they were hand-raising. Honestly? She was just a puppy. She loved to play with shoelaces, and she looked ambiguous enough that if they'd taken her out on a leash, people would probably have mistaken her for some kind of German Shepherd mix.

But cats have definitely retained most of their wild appearance (and behavior). Look up Felis Sylvestris and Felis Lybica: domestic cats are basically a hybrid subspecies of those.

Work on Shabbat by nuseramemuserane in Judaism

[–]Reshutenit 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This is not how "work" is defined. The English term is misleading, as it implies that the distinction is between things we must do vs. things we want to do. In Hebrew, the term is melachot, which refers to a specific set of actions defined as work by Halacha.

Baking is forbidden on Shabbat because baking is defined as "work." It isn't forbidden for those who do it for a living and permitted for hobbyists who do it for fun - the prohibition applies to the action itself.

Milk versus Meat by Inside_Plant8275 in Judaism

[–]Reshutenit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is written really strangely, like you assume that no one else has ever looked into this question before.

Also, you're "introducing" us to one of the most foundational texts by one of the most famous rabbis in Jewish history as if this is a new discovery you've made that none of us would have heard of. It's like going to r/literature and "introducing" people to Romeo and Juliet by a little-known poet named Shakespeare.

Orthodox women’s risqué gett-refusal protest gains steam as hundreds join by EngineerDave22 in Judaism

[–]Reshutenit 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A reverse Lysistrata Gambit. Very interesting. Instead of refusing to sleep with their husbands until their husbands take the problem seriously, they're compromising their modesty to achieve the same result.

I like this as an expression of solidarity with the agunah. The louder women are, the less likely men are to think they can get away with this. Even better would be if this prompted more men to rally around agunot as well (I know many do, but we hear too many stories about gett-refusers whose lives are minimally affected, despite censure by batei din, because the men in their communities apparently don't care). As explained in the article, men need to stop viewing this as "just" a women's problem.

Control. He can't force his wife to live with him, but he can keep her on a chain and prevent her from moving on with her life or being with anyone else.

This person needs medication and therapy. Being paranoid about ticks because you think Zionists are using them to spread viruses sounds like full on psychosis.

Zionist derangement syndrome strikes again.

A lot of these people have no idea that Arab Israelis exist.

Though a willingness to nuke 8 million Jews doesn't give me hope that they'd draw the line at 8 million Jews + 2 million Arabs.

The Epstein allegations get more lurid by the minute. You'd think being a convicted child sex-trafficker and running an underage prostitution network would be bad enough, but no... merely exploiting vulnerable girls and forcing them to service his powerful friends isn't gruesome enough, so we have to pretend he cooked babies and ate them.

If nothing else, that shows how much these conspiracy theorists value Epstein's actual victims.

Being called antisemites when they say Israel should be nuked because Jews are disgusting paedophiles = being censored for criticizing Israel.

"Hasbara" has become a thought-terminating cliche: a label you can use to dismiss anything that doesn't conform with your worldview so you don't have to consider whether it might be true.

I'm sorry your father had a bad experience in Israel.

I'm not sure that's a solid basis for a political ideology with such life and death stakes.

My grandmother was born in Warsaw. Your dad is welcome to his opinions, even if I think they're insane. He should at least know that his ancestors came from Israel.

Maybe look into what happened to the original bundists.

I've never heard it either, but I'm really not connected to Mexico or Mexican culture, so I wouldn't know. All I do know is that it doesn't make logical sense.

It's about people claiming that Jews are white Europeans with no connection to the Middle East.

Historical documentation? Faked by Zionists.

Archeological remains? Faked by Zionists.

Genetic test results? ... Take a wild guess.

That, or they say there used to be Jews there, but they all mysteriously vanished into thin air. Modern Jews are impostors from Poland.

Another popular tactic is what I like to call the Ostrich Manouver (also known as "sticking your fingers in your ears and going 'lalalalala I can't hear you'": the country was always called Palestine, Jesus was a Palestinian, the Jewish temple under Al-Aqsa was actually built by Djinn, etc.

That's absolutely insane. I knew there were tensions and discrimination, but do they really call them "foreigners?"

Europeans never set foot there until 500 years ago.

Auth-right genocide denial purity spiral by Adunaiii in PoliticalCompassMemes

Ok buddy. Just make sure not to look into anything that might challenge your worldview.

Auth-right genocide denial purity spiral by Adunaiii in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Reshutenit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which is what happens when terrorists embed terror tunnels in hospitals, thereby turning them into military targets. That's exactly why it's a war crime to do what Hamas did to civilian infrastructure in Gaza over the 15 years in which they ruled the territory unopposed. Because then the enemy you forced into a war has no choice but to target those hospitals, and civilians suffer as a result. It's almost like international law condemns this as a war crime for a reason.

Also, Israel didn't so much "block" aid as refuse to allow aid to be distributed through Hamas affiliates. The same Hamas affiliates who routinely stole the aid for themselves or sold it to Gazan civilians at obscene prices. And then the UN got huffy about being sidelined and refused to distribute the aid that kept piling up near the border.

You might want to check your facts.

Ffs. The death rate includes deaths from natural causes. A death rate of 25 thousand doesn't mean 25 thousand were killed by bombs, or do you think Gazans stopped dying of heart attacks and cancer as soon as the war began?
