PBA: You’re forgetting, I don’t believe in Hashkafa. I think “Hashkafa” is an excuse that people make up to a) Assur/Mattir things that Halacha doesn’t really Assur or Mattir and b) to think/say that they are better than other Jews. It would be rare (or impossible) to find a Rav who says that a woman who honestly wants to be M’kayeim A mitzvah can’t do it “for Hashkafic reasons”. That’s just silly. I object just as strongly to Assuring something Muttar for “Hashkafic reasons” as I object to Mattering the Assur for “Hashkafic reasons” (which everyone agrees is ridiculous). People who challenge Hashem are R’shaim. That shouldn’t stop those who aren’t R’sha’im from doing something Muttar, especially when they’re M’kayeim a Mitzvah by that (which is exactly what the guy from FrumTeens tried to stop-in many, many cases).
