On the Square Today

Elizabeth Scalia doubts that women should become more like men:

The sexual revolution promise that women could “have it all” has always been oddly paradoxical: It encouraged women to find their best selves by aping men and conforming to traditionally male valuations of worth and relevance.

Larry Poland, Abraham Cooper, and Yitzchok Adlerstein voice concerns about the portrayal of Jews in the TV series The Bible :

Even if the role of Caiaphas and company must remain prominent to be true to the Gospels, how they were presented in this series remains disturbing to many Jews. Simply put, they are the most “Jewish” Jews of the series. Everyone else looks like imports from Texas.
