“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.”
There is no question that taaivos are an issue. However, the Muslim response to that is to put women in a chador or burquah, and only allow her eyes to show. So maybe the problem is with the man, and not the woman. Maybe men need to learn more self-control. I love the smell of a BLT, but I am not going to eat it.
“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. “
Unless you are a woman, and from your screen name, I get the feeling you are not, you cannot possibly understand anything about a woman’s sense of fashion and desire to well-dressed, which has NOTHING whatsoever to do with lack of self-esteem, and everything in the world to do with wanting to look pretty. If you ask most women, they are dressing to impress other women, not men, because most men are clueless and don’t even notice when their wives are wearing a new dress. Women who come from frum homes but dress like a zonah, are possibly suffering from low self-esteem.The typical girl who wants to wear a pretty dress that does not quite measure up to what we perceive as 100% tzniusdig standards in the Yeshivish world,however, just wants to look nice. Maybe they should not wear makeup, either, because it shows a lack of confidence to not be satisfied with the face Hashem gave them.
