In Orthodox Judaism, though gender norms dictate everyday life, research on the role of gender in disaffiliation is scarce. This study analyzed data from a parent study describing the personal experiences of men and women raised as Orthodox Jews who either disaffiliated from the practice (Nwomen = 153, Nmen = 153) or continued practicing (Nwomen = 168, Nmen = 146), examined through the lens of gender. Gender differences had a divergent pattern: disaffiliated women reported adverse social/emotional experiences at a significantly higher rate than disaffiliated men and all affiliates, while all men reported adverse education experiences at a significantly higher rate than women. These patterns may, in part, be due to community norms and differential willingness to report outcomes by disaffiliated and affiliated individuals. Our findings highlight the influence of gender on the experiences within the religious community and the complex process of disaffiliation.","PeriodicalId":92716,"journal":{"name":"Religion & gender","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43557210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the determination of virginity and the conclusive understanding of its signs is often elusive. This is in part because female subjectivity and testimony are discounted as methods of determining women’s sexual history. This article examines a passage in the Babylonian Talmud (B. Niddah 64b–65b) in which the difficulties surrounding defining virginity come to the forefront. It considers the epistemological and legal implications of a system which depends upon the ability to determine female virginity, but is confronted with the difficulty, and sometimes impossibility, of doing so with certainty.","PeriodicalId":92716,"journal":{"name":"Religion & gender","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48589987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Camilla Gibb employs the trope of the journey to trace the ways in which the female protagonist, Lilly, transforms in a transnational context. The narrative depicts multiple journeys that Lilly undertakes between the West and the East. Such geographical displacements are pivotal to her complex spiritual self-discovery. Lilly, a white Ethiopian Muslim, embraces Sufi Islam which helps her resist forms of alienation and discrimination. Therefore, as I argue in this paper, religion can be a constitutive component in the formation of female cosmopolitan subjectivity. Understanding cosmopolitanism as a disposition that is not necessarily secular in its orientation, this article investigates the transformative role of religion in the debates surrounding “new cosmopolitanism.” I argue that through Lilly’s journey, the narrative depicts religion as a central feature of cosmopolitan identity which disrupts the orientalist bent associated with East/West dichotomies.","PeriodicalId":92716,"journal":{"name":"Religion & gender","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41597039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
