After rereading this thread-

who says that the pashut pshat of “kol kvuda bas melech pnima” is that women have to stay indoors any more than it has to do with middos? The “poshut pshat” is “all of the honor of the daughter of the king is within.” Within what? What kind of honor? If my dad works in an office and doesn’t rule anywhere, does it still apply? 😛 The “staying indoors” explanation is just as pshat as the middos and inner glory explanation, really.

(And it’s tehillim. It would be an interesting world if we paskened from tehillim.)

Essentially, while tznius is a wonderful thing, the amount of hateful invective on this thread was actually scary to read.

And yes, I think the drinking is a huge issue as well.
