Women in Leadership

 Just saw this ad on Facebook and it made me want to post something angry, but instead I'll politely write about it on my blog because I'm a lady.

The ad feels a little extreme for me, although I know one of the founders of this organization and her intentions are in the right place. We know that orthodox men like to put women in the corner - there are no women in Haredi politics - but it's more than that:

This long war that's taking our men to the reserves is causing feminism to take a step back. I left my job in tech because I couldn't keep up with my home. Now I'm a seamstress. Which i love, but goes against all the feminist education I was raised on.

I strongly believe women need to take leadership roles. I always thought I would be a woman in leadership (yes I read Lean In) . But that's not a thing right now, for me and for lots of other women, because of the war.

And yeah, our very male leadership is responsible for this situation.
