[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a more balanced view, here is an interview with an Orthodox woman from Borough Park, where she talks about her life, work and family.   In my experience (I am not Orthodox, but have several friends who are), this is more reflective of the community than what various “unorthodox “ movies are portraying.

This  guy is libertarian  right wing.  Feel free to catch his other " balanced" videos,  like the  one on the border. 
Re: video" You'll die faster from  worrying, than  COVID", please read up on how the NY orthodox dealt with COVID. They  didn't.

FWIW, to be balanced,  I've enclosed a link. I am not orthodox,  don't  agree with  most of their religious  and community tenets,  but I did  appreciate this written rebuttal on a number of levels, which surprised even  me.

The Forward  is a Jewish newspaper, usually catering  to the observant.

Oj1 - the forward actually caters to the Jewish involved but non observant, but I happen to really like this article.

I rolled my eyes IRL when I read “ So please Talia if you need to speak your truth, speak it, but speak the actual damn truth.” The author can write about how she perceived Talia, but she can’t say how Talia actually felt or what happened when she (the author was not around). She saw a fraction of someone else’s experience and us angry that fraction isn’t reflected in the show. She could make her own show that shows how unburdened and joyous she finds ultra Orthodox womanhood. But she can’t say someone else’s story isn’t the actual truth. [/quote]

I was with her until she brought up class and Kate Middleton. [/quote]

Yeah, okay, I agree, no one needs to  be compared with another  person to describe class, and Kate Middletown has nothing  to do with anything, class, or this situation,  but the "class"  issue  was spot  on. I think she meant general decorum. Who meets someone for  the first time and begins discussing sex and pulls out a vibrator? Who discusses her children's sexual experiences in a memoir?  She's extremely inappropriate in many ways. In summary, this is less about the two  cultures, and more about a person with issues that producers are exploiting,  the same  way the RH franchise does.  And that's not classy.  [/quote]

Pretty sure nobody on that show is trying to be classy. [/quote]
Good! Then it was a success![/quote]
