Ladies : Be proud you are different The creator made species in male and female mostly. Some gene confusion cause a small number of anomalies. Historically Judaism was delivered to men, not least because women had their hands full, rearing and making home. That became the tradition. changes to the tradition means you are seek modernising Judaism as given according to emotions only that might disrupt the whole dynamic Do you have the right to impose such demands? I think many would doubt it , and rightly so. There are more urgent aspects to modernise than females wanting to lay Tefillin, read from the Torah, and don Tallit.

Their role today should be reduced to teachers if they are good enough and practice what they claim they teach
