Neville you don’t have to admire it justify everything we do to be respected by us. We all don’t necessarily agree on the same things. We just don’t like when people look out to attack for no good reason… The difference is evident.
With regards to your last post, shorts and a t-shirt are a problem halachically. It’s not tznius. Tznius applies to men too just women more so. So i don’t see the comparison between something halachically not ok and something that just looks unkempt.
Joseph yes abba chilkiyas wife stayed at home all day. All jewish women of the time did. Nevertheless, she left the house to greet her husband dressed in the equivalent of shabbos clothes to the point where his companions asked him why, as surely as a righteous woman she wasn’t doing it to attract their attention. He replied that she was doing it to direct his attention to her. And she is praised for that. Which proved my point. Not that women shouldn’t dress beautifully but they shouldn’t look to attract other mens attention and flaunt.
I don’t want to respond over much as to derail the thread but if it goes quiet I can address the Rambam and shulchan aruch although it’s a separate thing. You first brought up how women dress outside, now you’re bringing up how often they’re outside. And anyway this isn’t the main topic.
