"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.
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?
Altie: I don't blame you. Never had it, but don't think I ever want to.
