BRIEF INSIGHT
WEAPONRY
A woman may not go out with weapons of war. For this reason Yael used a tent peg to kill Sisera instead of using a conventional weapon. (Rivan)
QUICK HALACHAH
HAIR REMOVAL
Removing the hair of the body such as the armpits and pubic hair is forbidden mid'Rabanan and one who does so is punished with Makas Mardus. However the prohibition only applies in a place that it is not usual for a male to do so, because in such a place it is regarded as a male fixing himself up like a woman. In a place that it is usual for both males and females to do so there is no punishment for a man who removes his body hair. If one uses scissors (instead of a razor) it is permitted to remove body hair in all places. (Rambam Hilchos Avodah Zarah 12:9)
