Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Shalom Chaim,

There is a huge double standard in the way the two sexes are allowed to behave towards each other. A man who pleads and persists is a "stalker", but a woman who does is "determined" and "just wants closure". A man who breaks up with his girlfriend is a "heartbreaker" or "player", but a woman who dumps her boyfriend or husband is "being gutsy" and "standing up for herself". A man who yearns to get married is "desperate", but a woman who does is "idealistic" and "family-minded". A man who rejects any woman for any reason is being "shallow", but a woman who selects men on the basis of wealth, popularity, height, etc. is being "selective" and "having standards". Sadly, this has permeated much of the religious population of the West.

How would you go about reversing the gender double standard, Chaim?

Chaim,

I'd like to ask you another "devil's advocate" question.

JTF advocates the destruction of the Iranian nuclear project.  How do you respond to critics who object as follows:

(1) you can destroy their progress, but they will simply restart and rebuild and next time it will be more difficult to destroy, much as the Iranian project is now more difficult than the Iraqi project in Osirik was in the 1980s.

(2) even if you destroy the Iranian project, Pakistan already has nuclear bombs.  The "Islamic bomb" already exists and the knowledge will be shared.  You can destroy the factories but you can't destroy the knowledge because "the genie is already out of the bottle".

I'm just playing devil's advocate because these are the objections I frequently here.

Dear Hayim,

Can you tell us your favorite quote from Rav Kahane ZT"L?

davinci:
Shalom Chaim

Your family from your mothers side lived for centuries in Egypt. This must have been a real nightmare for them to live among this Muslim scum. I personally would prefer to live among pigs than among Muslims.
I can imagine that this has been also very dangerous knowing the Muslims who riot and use violence very easily especially when they are jealous because of the achievements of the infidels.

The Christian Copts, the descendants of the originally population of Egypt, must endure this situation till this day.
Now I wonder, was there some solidarity between the Jews and the Christian Copts of Egypt? Or did the Copts behave like unfortunately most of the Arab Christians in the Middle East: in other words like thugs?

Kind regards

davinci

(My apologies for last week on wasting a spot my computer crashed the very same day)

Two weeks ago i adressed a question i think you might have missed
which was "What is your opinion on the metrocard fare increase here in New York?Also do you think the extra fare hikes are to increase the salaries of these incompetent schvartza bus drivers?"
 

Thanks again, John
