The truth is, that in areas regarding tznius, there is a lot which is based on perception and context.

5. I don’t think people expect the principals to read YWN, they just want to vent.
6. Some people don’t know the school, and others are too cowardly.
7. OTD has been proven to be caused by whatever happens to be your pet peeves. Same with the shidduch crisis.
