i was wondering, if men and women have different 'roles', what are these roles exactly? what are these purposes. can anyone elaborate? =) they always leave that bit unclassified. is it, woman as mother and homemaker, in submission to her husband, man as head and authority? hm, equal indeed. ; ) and yea, roles do imply certain things, whether you like it or not. i'm not saying it's wrong, just that 'being subject', don't lie to yourself n hedge around it like a maniac, is an inferior position.
Question: You mentioned that after a woman menstrates she must immerse in a mikvah before engaging in sexual relations with her husband. Is this allowed in the home or must it be done in a temple? Also, are there rules regarding the use of contraception?
A proper mikveh cannot be done at home. There are mikvaot associated with various synagogues as well as community mikvaot. Each mikveh must comply with very strict standards.
Contraception is not used in the Orthodox community and is not necessarily welcomed in a lot of the non-Orthodox community.
"Women not being equal to men" is not, as you read, a "popular belief"-- it was (and is) a pretense held by those who seek to exploit situations for personal gain.
If women are allegedly equal to men in Judaism why do men pray "Thanks for not creating me as a woman"?

Equal? Yes. Different? Yes. Inferior? Absolutely Not.

Unfortunately, this is a popular misconception even among some Jews.
