Who's Watching You?

"You really can tell a person's character from up here, you know?" 

My shulmate nodded, smiling knowingly. Us womenfolk have a distinct advantage from our upstairs perch. The poor gentlemen are under observation, like amoeba beneath a microscope. One can tell who is serious, who is focused, who is dignified . . . and who isn't.

Then it hit me. "What does the Eibishter see," I asked, "when He looks down at us?" 

Oh snap.

  1. Ah yes, when we realize that we are not as high and mighty as we first thought.

    This is a perfect example of the extremely low
    opinion that women have of men in our times,
    and that includes the extremely low opinion
    that Orthodox [“Frum"] women have of Orthodox
    [“Frum"] men.

    Considering the extremely low opinion
    that Orthodox women have of Orthodox men,
    should we be surprised about the existence
    of the Shidduch Crisis?

    Given the extremely low opinion that Orthodox
    women have of Orthodox men, should we be
    surprised that Orthodox women constantly
    speak Lashon HaRa against Orthodox men?

    Or do you say that Lashon HaRa against
    Orthodox men is the cause of the extremely
    low opinion that Orthodox women have of
    Orthodox men, not the result?
