Women's Rights

There is a prevalent misconception that in order to demonstrate their equality, women need to imitate men. But the need to imitate someone else implies an inferior self-perception.
Women, Femininity & Feminism, Lubavitcher Rebbe
Women’s Rights
Disc 120, Program 480

Event Date: 22 Sivan 5742 - June 13, 1982

There is a prevalent misconception that in order to demonstrate their equality, women need to imitate men. But the need to imitate someone else implies an inferior self-perception.

Rights, namely the opportunity of living a full life and realizing one’s potential, come from understanding one’s own G‑d-given qualities and talents, and developing them to their fullest measure.

Male Problems Women.'s rights are in essence testosterone problems. Men and Women are Equally Different. An offspring cannot take form without both parties assuming their Equally Different responsibilities. The fact that women must struggle to receive respect and recognition, an equal salary is in essence a male problem that lies with male insecurities. Its Ego. Equally but different Ego. That's why matriarchal societies live in greater harmony than patriarchy that lives from one warfare to the next.. Matriarchy does not mean females dominate as males do in patriarchy, matriarchy stands for both, male and female to be Equally Different taking their respective responsibilities, Children in a matriarchal society are far less stressed. Ask the anthropologist. Reply

Women's rights Interesting perception. How can women be like men when they give birth to children/ it is now 2013 and it seems that Women are still trying to compete with men and men are beginning to act like women! Reply

Excellent Advice So true, we got to live to our individualistic full potential and not the benchmark of others. Reply
