The Mishna on our daf describes what the Sages refer to as middah ke-neged middah: “measure for measure”, meaning that a person receives what he deserves.
The Mishna applies this specifically to the case of sota, indicating that the various punishments and degradation that the sota receives are all directly connected to her behavior and the activities in which she participated.
We continue our struggle with the notion of public humiliation affecting women not men.
