Look, I am an Orthodox Rabbi. I teach in a yeshiva for students from Chutz La’Aretz. I am sure you know the type. That is for full disclosure. But to quote the Rambam “Esma Elchak Mmin Kalam” or don’t be so biased.

I understand much of the feminist critique and egalitarian urges and am sympathetic to that approach. But your understanding of marriage is way off base.

I deeply and pasionately love my wife. Part of our whole is our family which includes many beautiful children. I don’t think that Mother/Wife/Sexual Partner are exclusive or elusive at all. Any and all human relationships include and element of give and take and accepting that people are human and not mythological-phantasmagorical constructs.

IMHO your entire piece is immature. What a shame, because you showed such incredible sensitivety in your other writing.
