CS: I believe the context was how could The Rebbe say we should demand Moshiach? Point here was the chofetz chaim uses the same word- and he didn’t say ask nicely.
I don’t clearly remember what the content of the complaint was then, but my complaint was and is that the LR said that what the RBSO is doing doesn’t make any sense. The Chofetz Chaim would never have said something like that.
Many women who don’t dress tznius do it because they struggle with the image tznius clothing gives off, and feel non tznius clothing looks better on them etc. …
I am broadminded enough to accept that people struggle with any mitzvah. But I am not broadminded enough to accept that women who do not dress tzniusdik can be shluchos. Nor am I broadminded enough to accept that non-tznius is de rigueur (please add that expression to the list of those that I only use in the Coffee Room) in Lubavich circles without the Rabbonim expressly issuing statements ‘demanding’ (as strongly as demanding Mashiach) that women shouldn’t be machshil the men who are innocently walking down the same street.
Now of course, learning enough Chassidus on the topic, elevates one to a place where they feel disdainful towards non Jewish fashion, and feel that tznius is the look they are proud to wear, and the other clothing cheapens women and isn’t beautiful at all
Not from what I and others have seen from Lubavich women. Don’t forget, it’s not only areas of the body that have to be covered, it’s the mode of dress as well. This, unfortunately, is a problem in a lot of MO circles as well.
