Feminism in New Square Part II - Friends in High Places

All those who ever had a shred of doubt about the new development in New Square Hatzalah - namely, active participation in it by women and blessing of such by Skvere rebbe zg"z - now there is a solid and unequivocal proof.

Leitzonei haDor, represented by the Spinker Oisvorf, condemned every aspect of this. He was unoriginal enough to use leshoinos brought down by me in the original mentioning of this - complete with "Chassidim Shoytim" and what have you. The general rule of thumb is that the more these talmidei Bilam "condemn" and disapprove of something new, rest assured that the development is a good one.

While I'm not familiar with the background of the decision to start their own Hatzolah, female participation - if other leitzonei hador won't peck it down - is truly revolutionary and wise. Foremost, Skvere Rebbe zg"z spoke of real life anecdotes of people who didn't want to call Hatzalah for because of gender / tznius reasons. He didn't in any way suggest that it's a right thing to do, as a humra, halacha or hanhaga. Nor are we aware of a case of women getting in serious danger because of this. But it can't fit into the tiny heads of our own Goebbelses that for what it's worth, a chassidishe lady just may have an issue with being handled by a yingerman - likely her relative, given the size of Skvere gene pool - in ways that don't belong on a family friendly resource.

There isn't a shred of attempt to see anything positive here. The fact that it's probably the first time these women can partake in communal activities in ways that don't include writing checks and cooking and doesn't include breaking any rules - and will without doubt save many lives - that bears no value whatsoever with our bean counters.

That it will remove any or most claims or realities of gender segregation and discrimination - disregarded as well.

That women will get trained in much needed medicinal, ER and hygienic skills - all forgotten.

That decision to call Hatzalah will be a trivial one and response time will improve - not a word on that.

And who will even mention that Rashi כל מקום שאתה מוצא גדר ערווה אתה מוצא קדושה . After all, it is an improvement in the ways his father set up the place.

None of the above present any interest or concern to this creature, pretending "to do what's right". Rather, the cause is turned into yet another fest of bashing Skver; it seems that smearing of Czernobyler kinder and as an extention all other kreyzen, chassidus'n, rebbes et al is a recurring theme and a preferred pastime of this degenerate and his real rebbes - the "it's alive" neurotic graphoman mentoblock and Failed Shmarya.

What can we say - good luck, Skvere weibelech; you'll need it.
