Areas in which halakha has changed that I can think of on the top of my head : going from being allowed to no longer being allowed to kill lice on shabbos, how we treat people who are mechalel shabbos, takanot, women and Talmud Torah etc |
I can tell your open orthodox just by the way you write halacha. Also, don’t forget many people on here still don’t support women learning gemera.

The question is does Open Orthodoxy exist? Has it ever existed?
AIUI, its just a term that some used for a movement within Modern Orthodoxy. And that those who attack it may pay lip service to not attacking MO, but the attacks relate to things that are earmarks of MO Judaism.
In any case, YCT no longer uses the term, so I would submit that if "Open Orthodoxy" ever existed, it no longer does. |
Open orthodoxy still very much exists. Maharat and yct still very much exists.
