Real vs. girly farbrengens

Courtesy of e and SRH, a post about what is a real Chabad farbrengen (at least its chitzoinius) and what is not.

SRH comments: the second type is a typical girls’ (or women’s) farbrengen.

I comment: that’s the problem with feminism. It’s “we will be equal to men by doing manly things”. Farbrengens are not for women. Women have to reinvent something for themselves, something uniquely feminine that allows them to connect to each other and to Chassidus.
