I don't understand this idea that we have to show tolerance toward practices that are in themselves intolerant. I am happy to "tolerate" the right of Orthodox people to avoid driving on Shabbat or to keep strictly kosher. I cannot approve of institutionalized sexism, especially when it has so little religious basis, though it is carried out in the name of the religion that I share.

By the "tolerance" line of reasoning, citizens of Northern states should have kept their big mouths shut instead of complaining about Jim Crow laws in the South. It's a free country, right?
