Megilla 12b- Vashti was punished Mida Kneged Mida- She made the Jewish girls work undressed on Shabbos,so too she was told to come undressed to party on Shabbos. Why is this Mida Kneged Mida, she never ended up going undressed to the party? In addition the gemarah says that really Vashti wouldn't have minded were it not for the fact that she grew a tail or got Tzara'as. If so, you can't punish someone with something that they don't even mind so its really completely not Mida K'negid Middah? If I don't mind something its not a punishment just because you did it to someone who does? In addition what is the reason she had to be punished on Shabbos? For her Shabbos is the same as any other day so again its not Mida K'negid Middah?
