One of the interesting things about current yeshivishe social custom is that the spirit of the law has been forgotten or ignored. The bottom line is that there are social rules that parade as yiddishkeit but are as far as can be from it. The list of these social rules is endless, and it determines who is in and who is out. And woe to those who are out. These “frum” women are practicing a religion, but it is not Judaism. Much credit to you that you are not practicing this pseudofrumkeit despite the peer pressure.
