it sounds like you hate women, hate jews, hate yourself. if you want that to be your life, fine that is your choice, a bad one, but entirely your own. but why spread the hate. you may be funny and witty and even right in some of the points you express, but all you do is self-righteously (you know, much like you accuse the “frummies” of doing) sit behind your computer or run away to some wilderness. fix things if you find problems, dont just point it out.

if you ever had the oppurtunity of reading romance novels or watching movies, (and from the sound of your writing, this isnt a stretch) then you’d know the two things that women always want. they want love to last forever and they want their spouse to really know them, beyond their outside trappings. know them really, their essence. everything i have encountered as a jewish girl has shown me that living the life that i do, will get me what i want. you sit there and write how restricted women are, and i laugh thinking, how protected i am. all around me i see the secular world objectifiying woman, x-rated movies exist, men do frequent topless bars, and if women coworkers want to be cool they’ll go with the men to objectify their own gender, pornography is great business, every ad that sells whatever to men, needs a woman in it. i really much prefer not living that lifestyle.

i realize the unusuallness of me (not that you would know that it is unusual) responding to your writings, but i find myself pitying your misguided attempt at getting to the truth.

yet i have hope. rabbi akiva hated everything frum before he embraced it all.

hatzlacha.

  1. Hm, she may have a point but I don’t think anything she wrote applies to your particular blog. It’s very clearly labeled frum satire, after all.

  2. She isnt making much sense. What the heck does Frum Satire’s blog have to do with Porn?

    I dont really see this blog as misaygonist. Making fun of frummies ,maybe . Nothing to do with degrading women.

    Wake up , frumpy chick and smell the $$%%^ roses.

  3. Wow, I don’t really see what her issue is with you. I’m a girl,I consider myself literate, and I see no degrading women comments here. This is definitely equl oppurtunity bashing here.
    To be honest, I’m quite confused by her posting. I see she wrote about romance novels, movies. and made a comment about you learning about women from there (I think, but maybe I wasn’t following her incoherent rant properly, forgive me if Im wrong) when the truth is just the opposite! its stupid ‘romantic’ crap that gives women these totally unrealistic expectations the media has given about relationships and what they are ‘supposed’ to be. It’s all such crap, and any woman with half a brain could realize that.
    Not that I’m accusing her of being half brained, or brained at all.

    K, This did end up coming off kind of harsh. So I apologize and mean no offense to the woman who posted this. I just don’t understand what you mean.

    Hatzlacha?

  4. You know its funny, but when all is said and done she is absolutely right in most of her points. I would hesitate to use the words hate so lightly without really knowing the person- but it happens to be I agree with a lot of what she says- doesn’t mean I will shut down my site- but I do appreciate some mussar now and then. I listen to Theshmuz.com stuff in the car for that reason.
