Bless. Prepare for incoming screeching worse than her previous post. I particularly enjoyed her hypocrisyI'm not going to respond to the components of your post because you merely repeated your assertions. You neither responded to what I posted nor did you advance your argument beyond your initial poorly supported claims.
Your claim is that Tora and CD contain or embody the notion of "gender equality". You have failed to demonstrate that this is the case. You repeatedly assert that commandments about ancient weights and measures support your position. You merely repeat this assertion as if the mere act of repetition will eventually persuade. There is neither scholarly support for your claim nor have you been able to support it on your own.
Even worse for you is that your contention is anachronistic and Eurocentric. You exhibit a complete ignorance of intellectual history. First-wave feminism grew out of classical liberalism which grew out of the European Age of Enlightenment in the 17th-18th centuries. There never was any such intellectual movement in the Near East and there still isn't today in numerous countries in that region. The Near East didn't produce the idea of sexual egalitarianism and it never could have. Lebanon and Israel are the only two democracies in the region and many of the countries of that region are ranked amongst the worst of the Global Gender Gap 2020 (http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GGGR_2020.pdf). Israel is the only standout of the region and was built on and is maintained by the principles of liberal democracy not Torah.
Your attempt to find and/or insert a political ideology that originated in the 1960s in the USA, namely second-wave feminism, into an ancient Semitic culture is ridiculous. It shows that you understand neither 20th-century US political history nor ancient Near-East anthropology.
But your claim has a fatal flaw that renders it stillborn. The claim that Torah dictates a sexually egalitarian society has repercussions which have not occurred to you. Given that the early Israelites were patriarchal, this would have represented another instance of disobedience to Yahweh's commandments. It would have been the first act of disobedience. This would have resulted in their punishment and it would have produced another instructive and edifying story in the Tanakh for future generations. There is no such narrative in the Tanakh nor is there any historical record of ancient Israelite society transitioning from patriarchy to egalitarianism.
Lastly, your writing is not only devoid of intellect and learning you have no understanding of English grammar, you don't know the meaning of many words you use, you lack the vocabulary to clearly express your banal and demented thoughts and have zero intellectual integrity.
You repeatedly claim that you want to "debate". Before debate can occur dialogue must occur. Dialogue requires a common understanding of word meanings, spelling and grammar, and intellectual honesty. Your posting activity barely rises to the level of dialogue let alone debate. You do such things as redefine words, assert A when our eyes see it's not-A and exercise no interpretational charity.
Basic stuff:
goy = singular
goyim = plural
Not a proper noun so capitalise only if first word of a sentence
Apostrophe is not used to form plural; it denotes possession of the noun or abbreviation
"Narcissism" is not a proper noun so capitalise only if first word of a sentence
“You have to recognize me as a scholar because of my horrible articles. And you have to pay attention to them. But I can choose to ignore any other scholarly source you bring up just because I don’t want to listen.”
And I’m gonna let you in on a secret. Her college education was in “This is a tree.” No debates. Barely considered a higher level of learning. She’s calling you a chimney blowing words without meaning because she doesn’t comprehend a word you say. As said before. She no read the good. She’s going to come back and whine that KF isn’t worth typing correctly and her autocorrect keeps changing things mid sentence. Her deity has probably cursed her phone at the amount of consistent mistakes she makes.
