[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an ultra orthodox woman. I was debating responding but I'll give it a shot
The issue most of my friends have isn't that Julia is making up things that never happen. There are plenty of sources for the hell boiling water (not acid) modesty punishment and yes, well, wait til you find out what fundamentalist Muslims and Christians believe.

The problem is we know her. We grew up with her. She did not come from a community like the one she describes. It's like the Nigerian prime minister coming to Harvard and speaking about his difficult life in inner city Chicago.[/quote]

This. I'm not ultra orthodox personally, but know people that know her/her family and went to the schools she taught in/her kids went to.  I haven't seen the whole series, but from what I did see, the core issue is that she did not come from a community like the one she describes.

Also, fwiw, I personally thing silvio is the reason she has been able to take the job she has. it doesn't mean she is not good at it, just that this may be another example of an impressive women claiming to achieve x only on her own--but really because of who her partner is.  [/quote]
