CNN and FOX are saying too close to call.
Anyone have the NYTimes prediction?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

They were all just in ORD last week!
Yeah, but by now they should all be near their polling places.

Any word on when polling booths close?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Will he be advertising or will he be selling ads to JTZ, CV, HM et al.?

Is it indeed humiliating?

Reminds me of when my kids complain about someone bothering them. More often than not, it's the choice of the person being bothered as to whether they are bothered or not.

I don't understand. The author condemns how women have been obliterated from these publications. Yet women are constantly featured, discussed and praised in these magazines. It's just their photograph that doesn't appear. Are they saying that a women's entire worth is in her appearance, not her education, achievements and career?

The editor of the Mishpacha is a woman. The editor of the Hamodia is a woman. The editor of the Family First is a woman. The editor of the Ami Living is a woman.

These publications have steady female columnists who are successful psychologists, educators, doctors, and business professionals, not to mention rebbetzins.

What is humiliating about not having your picture?

I've read countless articles in various academic journals. None of them have pictures of the professors who authored them, just their names.
Brevity may be the soul of wit, but floridity is its spirit.

i find interesting that the author of that article is calling on rabbinic leadership to do the right  thing by following her views
seems like she is confused on the definition of rabbinic leadership.

Right, which shows that its the content that matters, no? And that their picture doesn't define them; they don't feel "humiliated" when their picture isn't shown.

Not all columns in heimishe publications have pictures of their authors, either.

Someone please post the missed the point gif...

Here tattelleh...we will spoonfeed it to you so you get it...every male writer in the frum publications can have his picture posted. No women are accorded the same respect.

Point boomeranged, came around and hit me in the face.

Still, is it "humiliating" not to be offered to have your picture? Disrespectful, as you put it? Do the women in the magazine even want their pictures in? If they want their pictures printed alongside their articles, they can submit them to publications that will do so. Why demand of the heimeshe publications to accede to their demands?

Ms. Keats Jaskoll published her article in a place that gladly puts the author's picture in, and she is entitled to do so, obviously. She is free to read and publish in places that have women's pictures. But why impose her demands on other communities that don't?

Impose her demands. You guys make it sound like its such a burden. Oy, these impossible women. Misogyny, much?

The question still remains, where, when and how did this become the norm in orthodox publications? When did little girls become sexualized that frum men cannot be trusted to look at them? When did tznius dressed women become vixens to be avoided at all costs.
