“the male gender has gone awol on this topic.”
Look what happens when we bring it up even behind internet anonymity. You end up with with the whiny, meikel crowd claiming everything from extremism to motzei shem ra. It’s PC, feminist culture creeping in and censoring the men. Some of them may truly not care about the halachah, but I don’t think all of them. Yes, I think they’re wimps for not speaking out about it anyway, but it’s not like they have nothing to lose.
Trustinhashem: I can’t tell if you’re a troll, an offended Jewish feminist, or someone who just watched an inspirational video and now think he knows hilchos lashon hara.
