You’re right- case closed
Anyone who could state that the wigs today are fine because the shiltei Giborim and the Rema allowed wigs that looked like natural hair (which was a big debate and too complicated to argue about on Yeshiva world properly) hundreds of years ago or even fifty years ago has blinders on- you obviously all know much better than our most recent gedolei hador who proclaimed most of todays wigs immodest and erva
This debate is futile- the men here obviously want to justify their wives wigs – which look nothing like the wigs from fifty years ago and definitely not like the wigs from 200 years ago. This whole argument is ridiculous, but I’m not writing these responses for the men on this thread, i’m writing it for the women who might be reading this who are open to the emes. And I posted enough sourced info to show how this mitzvah is all about modesty.
You could continue justifying all the wigs by stating how the Rema and the Shiltei Giborim gave a heter to todays sheitels but anyone with a thinking brain realizes that they are two totally different items. One was used to cover the hair as an obvious head covering and one is used to accentuate, attract and provoke.
You’re all missing the big picture here which is so obvious that even a young child gets this (how many times has my little son said to me, Oh she’s covering her hair? Who would ever know that!) What a total deception and chillul Hashem.
And anyone who thinks that a woman’s modesty isnt connected to what’s on her head doesn’t understand modesty at all.
How ironic is it that on top of this whole thread is an ad for a wig company with the slogan “The best wigs go unnoticed”
I think I’m dancing out of here….
