147, do you think tznius improves with marriage, or did you just link two random issues?
Popa, is it better than ten years ago, or is it just better than fifty years ago?
Veltz, aren’t there aspects of tznius which have gotten worse, even if we have gotten better in one specific area?
Personally, I think tznius is a middah, which applies to both men and women, although it expresses itself differently for each.
Specifically, as it relates to what seems to be the subject of this thread, namely women’s dress (and the fact that we in the CR seem to enjoy talking about this aspect more than others is probably due to a lack of tznius), the underlying problem, particularly today that there is not a lack of knowledge of the halachos, is a middos issue. If a girl would be a tzanua, she would want to dress modestly.
Is there a benefit to all of the shiurim, gatherings, presentations, rabbinic exhortations, etc.? Maybe. As a community, we certainly need to be clear about our values, about what is important to us, and about what is repulsive to us.
I don’t know how effective it all is, though. The best way I know to teach middos is by example, and there is no quick fix. Middos are a lifetime’s work.
