Where are the women who protested in January?

This is not the first batch of hair found being smuggled at the borders. Many of the hair bundles do not meet the criteria for wig manufacturing. So who took this hair and from where?

The families of women who were given the bodies of their loved ones tell tales of horrors. Signs of torture, mutilated bodies, missing organs.

A lot of these women remain nameless and missing. Where are the Iranian women who protested during January 8 & 9?

Women’s protests in Afghanistan are an important issue that deserves much more attention from the media.

A few months ago, I was on a tram when I met an Afghan woman speaking Persian. Since Persian is my first language, I joined her conversation. She shared her hope that one day Afghan women will be able to protest against the Taliban, just as women in Iran have done.

Today, Afghan women are showing incredible courage by standing up against policies that try to control their bodies and their lives. These policies, introduced since 2021, have included restrictions such as revoking access to education and limiting women’s presence in public spaces.

I hope they will be safe, free, and heard.

Companies that rushed to replace human labor with AI are now shelling out to have IRL workers to fix the technology's screwups.

Delicious. We love to see it.

Ultimately, she spent 20 hours redoing the copy from scratch — and with her $100-per-hour rate, that meant her client was shelling out $2,000 for copy that likely would have ended up being far cheaper had a human just written it in the first place.

I love stories like this.

People who say "bring back bullying" have never been bullied and it shows

People who say "bring back bullying" are bullies.

Yup. What really makes me sad is while most of them always were, and want that power trip back? There ARE people who were bullied as kids and still managed to internalize the bullies' logic, and now think they're owed a chance to bully someone in their turn.

There is a Certain Type of Leftist on here who is convinced that they can and should categorise all countries as either Real or Fake (a cornerstone of imperialist thinking btw), and while they might provide some support for their decision regarding specific countries, maybe even reference some noble ideals when explaining their reasoning, when you look at their overall views it becomes pretty clear that their main criterion is "how do my favorite empires feel about this country's independence?"

FOR Orthodox.

What even is orthodox? Lots of different groups get included in orthodox so what core beliefs unite Hassidic, Yeshivish, Modox, etc. as distinct from for example Conservative? I know some people also use terms like ultra orthodox and modern orthodox but are those different beliefs or just different customs?

Historically speaking, Orthodox Jews are the ones who disagreed with the Reform movement.

Reform Judaism is only a few centuries old, originating as part of the Haskalah, the Jewish adoption of Enlightenment ideas. Other movements are newer, either breaking away from Reform like the Conservative movement did or being modeled on it.

When the Reform movement first began adopting changes to traditional Judaism, "Orthodox" became the catch all term for those who rejected said changes.

Which is not to say that Orthodox Jews are living as they would have if there were never a Reform movement; in many cases, Orthodox Rabbis and communities made decisions specifically to counter Reform rulings.

The difficulty is that, ultimately, there is no Orthodox movement. Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist are all distinct movements with official rabbinical counsels who can make rulings about what the movement officially believes (though of course that doesn't mean every Jew who is part of those movements holds those beliefs) there is no comparable Orthodox counsel. "Chief Rabbi," of Israel or elsewhere, is a government position. In Israel, the Chief Rabbi can make rulings such as who counts as a Jew for the purposes of the Law of Return. In other countries, the Chief Rabbi tends to act as a representative of the local Jewish community to the government.

But while they are (usually) highly respected and influential Rabbis, that doesn't mean they have the authority to make official rulings for all Orthodox Jews, or even all Orthodox Jews in their country.

Now, there are Orthodox movements based on the teachings of specific Rabbis and their heirs, so those movements will have official beliefs, but then you get something like Modern Orthodoxy, which is really more of a philosophy than a movement, and the borders of who is and is not Modern Orthodox can get really fuzzy.

And, crucially, all of this only applies to Ashkenazi Jews.

Reform was a European movement. All of the political implications of Reform and later movements (and yeah, a lot of this is political) are within Ashkenazi Judaism.

Other minhagim aren't Orthodox, because Orthodox just means "not Reform, Conservative, ect," and they don't have a Reform movement to be "not".

This doesn't mean that other minhagim are more or less traditional that Ashkenazi Judiasm, just that the terms don't apply.

I hope that this cleared some things up!

(I assume that it did not.)
