Rabbi yochanan Ben Sakai was smuggled out in a coffin to negotiate with the Romans. <br />As for discrimination against women and gays. You are a heretic who should not use his resume rabbinic student of Y U. Number two, women have different physical and emotional characteristics which does not allow them to be equall with men. Even in secular societies. For example in certain military combat units. By denying this truth you are short changing everyone including women. <br />Then you have the mechitsa which is there to keep the fabric of society notably the sanctity of marriage. Where there is mingling there is cheating. <br />As for gays, they are deviants. The proof is in the form of our bodies. There is no place for gays except the outrageous. Enough said.
