Two ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspapers have altered a photo of Israel's new cabinet, removing two female ministers.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.

So here we have another example of a world religion "erasing" women from the face of the public world.

Cueball
Well, to be honest looking at the cabinet, you might as well have erased the women from it. They are as we see, posted in the center of the shot, for effect, and in the first copy of this photo series I saw I got the impression that there was some kind of gender balance in this cabinet, since it showed only the central figures gathered aroung Netanyahu.
Secularism itself doesn't guarantee gender equality, by all the evidence.

So here we have another example of a world religion "erasing" women from the face of the public world.
Other Israeli papers reprinted the altered images next to the original photos, with one headlining it "Find the lady".
Would it be more accurate to say "The ultra-Orthodox community" of the religion?
