Joseph: Ties started in the court of King Louis XIV in the 1700s.
including specific limitations and measurements. The seforim throughout history address these
They kinda don’t. These Halachos are left relatively straightforward and implicit, rather than explicit, for good reason. Halacha says elbows, knees, is a little unclear on where by the neck, and a “tefach” everywhere else.
It is also the husband’s and father’s halachic responsibility to insure members of his household are in compliance with these halachas.
This is an oft-repeated falsehood. There is no specific Halachic responsibility by here. No more so than anyone who can be Mocheh in a breach of Halachah is obligated to do so. There is nothing special about this Mitzvah in this regard.
golfer: I am going to very, very strongly disagree with you, and I hope I’m not rude. A Rosh Yeshivah once told me that over-obsessing about the Halachos of Tznius is itself a lack of Tznius. And he’s right. But that doesn’t mean that people who learn Torah are not entitled and able to have opinions on these topics. They’re in Shulchan Aruch for a reason. Yes, over-obsession is bad. But you are absolutely wrong when you say that men shouldn’t discuss it at all. There is a Chiyuv on men to know Kol HaTorah Kullah, which includes this. So don’t tell people what Torah not to learn.
