Thread: There are people in the Orthodox community who tell me I need to live and let live. But what they haven't understood, and maybe now they can start to understand, is that when you let people live by their own rules they will eventually come for you too.

It starts with the women & children because they're the easiest targets. Don't report sexual abuse, don't let women have authority, when women do start to have influence erase them, show them their place.
Don't believe in science, teach that the authorities are out to get you.

And when people in the community speak up against these practices tell people that they're intolerant, that they are culturally insensitive. Tell them to live and let live, and finally tell them they aren't one of us.

And now when the people have been allowed to have their own rules,to make their own culture, to say that everyone else is wrong, now when they start to beat up their own, when they make everyone look bad, Now you show up? Now you wonder where it's coming from? Now you're shocked?

We have been saying this for years. We decry the erasure of women, we scream against the abandonment of victims, we beg for women to be heard and for Judaism not to be warped. But we go unheeded.

You will probably say its not connected, that the erasure of women, denial of science has nothing to do with violent rioting & beating people. You are wrong. We have seen this over & again. Those who ignore this will reap what they sow and be responsible for all its consequences
