I have never read such a beautiful thought out post. Period. On gender and Torah? Non existent. You managed to beautifully explain the differences of gender and how they are portrayed in the Torah without any negative attitudes or assumptions about women. I am sharing this comment as a woman, who is struggling and working on reconciling narratives taught in the name of the Torah and the goodness and morality I have seen in the Torah. Your post gave me a lot of hope for continuing to try to reconcile.
