I hear that a common Jewish prayer among the males of that species is to thank their god for having made them men. What else can be expected?
People don't realize - or perhaps don't want to realize so as not to feel guilty of the monster they've created - how very scary and dangerous Zionists are. By the time they wake up to that reality, it will be entirely too late.

Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver were grouped with
the rest of the 30-member cabinet for their inaugural photo.
But Yated Neeman newspaper digitally changed the picture
by replacing them with two men.
The Shaa Tova newspaper blacked the women out.
Publishing pictures of women is viewed
by many ultra-orthodox Jews
as a violation of female modesty.
Other Israeli papers reprinted the altered images next to the original photos,
with one headlining it "Find the lady".

What strikes me is the similar disdain toward women held by the Orthodox Jews and the Muslim Taliban.

That prayer is sometimes translated as:
"Thank you God for not making me a gentile, a woman or a slave."
Shabbath 86a-86b.

To defend this prayer, it has been argued that
"gentile" is a poor translation for "heathen";
and that since women were not allowed to read the Torah,
the male was fortunate to have that privilege.

Nonetheless the inclusion of women seems to imply
equal status of womanhood and slavery.
