GAW: 1. The Shulchan Aruch is not talking about hair. He talks about men putting on their socks under their covers (if the minhag hamakom is not to walk around w/o socks). The Shulchan Aruch brings it down as halacha. It is Rav Moshe Feinstein who considers it to be midas chassidus. The Shulchan Aruch doesn’t say that.

2. “Different people may categorize pritzus differently according to their levels of sensitivity, so exactly what falls under that category may be subjective, and some people’s sensitivities can sound extreme to others who may be on a different level of sensitivity.

You’ve just admitted that it isn’t Halacha, as Halacha doesn’t change based on “sensitivity”.”

You are making it sound as though I originally stated that it was a halacha, and now I am “admitting” that it is not.

On the one hand, I had not stated it was halacha. On the other hand, I never “admitted” that it’s not halacha. I merely stated that some of the exact definitions may not be clear-cut in halacha. That is like saying that being tznius is not halacha simply because some of the aspects of tznius are not clearly defined in halacha and rely on people using their own seichel/sensitivity. Or like saying that “V’ahavta l’raecha kamocha” is not a halacha for the same reason.

Tachlis, I asked my Rav for the halachic source, and I will bring it soon. I just want to verify something first.

3. I am kind of surprised that this concept is such a chiddush for you. You never heard of girls not watching movies?? Or at least being careful what movies they watch???
