Men and women are built differently, right? Can we agree on that? And their sensibilities tend to differ too, in general. So in Torah you see that reflected in differences in roles. If you label any difference as some kind of unacceptable sexism, you are going to be upset all day long. I can't have a baby. I'd like to. Sounds wonderful. Should I rail against nature for this? I'd like to be beautiful. I'm not. I'm a guy. I'm not beautiful. Women are beautiful. On occasion I'm handsome. That's the best I can do. I do other things. So in Torah, there's much common activity, but there are some differences. It's just like nature. We all have hearts and lungs, but some parts of us differ by sex. The halacha works similarly. When you embrace it, you find it really does work quite nicely.
