SJSinNYC said; “I doubt the inch on the knee is why a man is having taavos. Usually, it has to be something more extreme.”
unless you are a guy, which I remember from way back you are not, you cannot possibly understand anything about a man’s taaivos or nisyonos, just as it wouldn’t be right for me to make a statement as if i understood the struggles of being a religious woman.
If men were generally behaving in a way that put women in a serious nisayon on a daily, secondly basis, we’d be sure to hear of it, just the fact that young men learning (or just not working)sending their wives into the workforce & not giving them the time of day, & neglecting their feelings has caused many to seek the attention of their bosses & coworkers
leading to disasterous results with girls from good homes.
No offense but the women who defend not being dressed tzniusdik are Nogeah B’davar. In my professional experience it usually stems from a low self esteem and a need to be looked at,
get attention, be the center of attention.
The other main reason is simply not being aware of halachas & middos of tznius. More modern generations & parents who carved their own path away from what they saw by their parents & grandparents hence leaving their children in a state of cluelessness.
Yet another reason is peer pressure & monkey see monkey do syndrome. These girls imitate popular classmates, also when they get older they’re convinced that if they are not totally into
the latest styles it will affect their shidduch,
the latter being the boys or rather their mothers fault.
We need to educate the masses saying this is NOT ok!
If this seems offensive, please read it again. I am merely trying to introduce some elements that may shed light upon the root of this
issue.
