Jewish boys are definitely taught to practice ethics and be kind, which is excellent.

But we are a several thousand year tradition of men. Men conquering. Male kings, who each had dozens of wives. Men writing commentary on the Torah. Men teaching the Torah to other men.

All women were allowed to do for thousands of years was get married and have babies till we died.

We’re changing it now but. There’s a lot of historical shit.

Plus the pressure to inhabit a Western model of masculinity that contradicts our Jewish model..

No wonder they struggle. I want to help but sometimes it feels like being around a flailing child. They can do a lot of harm.
