One Roman matron asked a question to R. To Eliezer:
— Was it fair to punish the people with three types of execution for one sin of worshiping the golden calf?
“All the wisdom of a woman does not go further than the spinning wheel,” said R. instead of answering. Eliezer.
“Father,” his son Hyrcanus remarked to him, “thanks to your refusal to answer her question, we will lose the annual tithe tax from her in the amount of three hundred cows.”
- Let them burn! - answered R. Eliezer. — The Torah is not a woman’s business.
