    What do you mean?
    We are treated very well. Held in high respect and regard by our friends, families, and husbands who are all very loving. Do you have a specific concern?
    We are not beaten or anything ;) (well I mean there are bad men everywhere but its not Jewish law to use and abuse women if that's what your asking)

    My wife hasn't complained...

    While there might be situations where men exploit law and community standards and act improperly, Judaism culturally values the unique and important role women play.

    I see Jewish have high family values so I assume their women are treated fair. The women must take care of lots of house work and children's education.

    Actually, the burden of education falls on the father, but the mother is considered a real source of learning. And I do a whole bunch of the housework.

    While the "traditional gender roles" certainly are often found and the theology does delineate some "jobs" for each partner the notion of "must" limited to one parent isn't accurate.
