Misogyny...it's not just Muslims

Stamford Hill sect bans women drivers

The British leaders of a major Chasidic sect have declared that women should not be allowed to drive.

In a letter sent out last week, Belz rabbis said that having female drivers goes against “the traditional rules of modesty in our camp” and against the norms of Chasidic institutions.

It added that, from August, children would be barred from their schools if their mothers drove them there.

According to the letter — which was signed by leaders from Belz educational institutions and endorsed by the group’s rabbis — there has been an increased incidence of “mothers of pupils who have started to drive” which has led to “great resentment among parents of pupils of our institutions”.

They said that the Belzer Rebbe in Israel, Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeach, has advised them to introduce a policy of not allowing pupils to come to their schools if their mothers drive.

Should we all start decrying Judaism as a dangerous, anti-woman religion now?

Of course ... when all else fails, blame women.

Nah....just another wacky example of religion's take of progressive politics.

Parts of it, yeah. But then, a very large percent of Jews are very progressive, and that must also be remembered.

We should decry this sect as misogynist. But until they start raping or incinerating women who don't fall in line, they're not quite as high as Muslim radicals on the "psycho" list
