zahavasdad- as a teenage girl I think I know what things should be said to impressinable girls my age. So we should keep no chumras because it might make other people question the Torah?
Most people are aware from their late teens that every is on their own level. I really do think its untziyusdik. I dont understand why you need a picture on the web. To prove you are alive? There is a halacha that a man can’t have enjoyment from even the pinkie nail of a woman and you will put a full body picture of yourself up for all to stare at? Even if one is not looking for hana’a, they may happen to find it.
I think teachers and such other people should say “In my house, or in the school we do ____” and then continue explaing the reason. People only get frustrated about it all if no one will explain it to them.
It’s like going the extra mile, but no one will tell you what reward you get out of it, so why would you do it.
All in all it’s a fine line and this thread wasn’t made to talk about it.
DaasYochid is right, but then again is never says explicitly in the kitzur women must wear socks, yet it is hinted and rabanim have proved it time and time again and girls in many places around the world still call it a “chumra”. The is a question even what each pwerson considers a chumra and halacha.
Of course putting pictures on the web is technically permitted but it’s setting yourself up for a waste of time, and a big possibility or causing aveiros. Plus it’s quoted many times in many seferim that a woman should be private, stay in the house, etc. I’m sure if the internet was around back then those sefarim would never have permitted such usage of it for a waste of time of showing off yourself on social media.
