In his speech last night to the emergency conference against women’s secular education organized by the rabbis of the Ashkenazi haredi United Torah Judaism Party, one of the rosh yeshivas who spoke, Rabbi Aviezer Pilz, said, ‘In previous generations were major attempts, like Siberia and the like, as well as all the other troubles that the Jewish people have. It seems as if the furnaces of this generation burn more intensely than the furnaces of Auschwitz,’ Kikar HaShabbat reported.

Another haredi yeshiva leader, Rabbi Nosson Zochovsky, told those assembled that ‘high wages for women in and of themselves posed a danger to haredi Jewish life’.

‘High wages are also a danger. Families need to have income, but if the wife starts to bring home an excessively high salary because of the college she studied in and because of the courses she’s taken there, it’s a danger to the entire structure of the home,’ Zochovsky noted, adding he himself stayed on the straight and narrow because ‘I didn’t become a cabinet minister and ‘important.’’

Other rabbis who spoke said that if the woman has an advanced degree and is familiar with academic culture, she will naturally begin to assume the role as the leader of the household because her husband only studies Torah and is less worldly than she is, and that will ‘destroy the family’.

I suppose that's the view of a lot of non-secular places. Independent chicks? Perish the thought of an uncontrollable woman. Can't have that!
