תלמוד בבלי, כתובות מט.
רבי יהודה אומר: מצוה לזון את הבנים, וקל וחומר לבנות, משום זילותא.
Rabbi Yehudah said: A father should support his sons, and all the more so his daughters, because it is shameful [for the daughters to not be supported].
[AJWS translation]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. What are some factors that make it shameful for daughters not to be supported, but not sons?
2. How is this text a commentary on gender roles?
