I was speaking publicly in a Charedi neighborhood and quipped that the only people in the neighborhood who aren't called "Harav Hagaon" are the women and children.
A lady with more feminist predilections heard me and told me afterwards that today woman are becoming rabbis and teaching Torah too. [She was bothered that I excluded women from being called Harav Hagaon.] This for her is a wonderful development. It is not enough to be a feminist, she asserted. One should also do good in the world.
So, I responded, it is not enough to be a feminist. One should actually do some good in the world.
She agreed. [I of course meant something very different from what she was saying...].
