A woman can pray as much as she wants while a man is required to pray a minimum amount. A minyan, because it is only for men may be sexist, but the ability to pray (which is what we're talking about) isn't. > The second part of the definition is so useless as to be a joke. Which society? Which roles? Which gender? Does sending my children to same sex schools fall under sexism? what about teaching my daughter to cook? Or calling her a little mommy?
