kiruvwife:

I understood one of your earlier posts saying that the guy shouldn’t close the door for her because of a potential tznius breach when she gets herself in. All I was trying to say is that she should not be in a position that would cause such a breach. I think this lack of proper decorum is more prevalent than many would admit, for example when a girl gets into a car it raises problems. Do you agree/disagree with this assessment?

Can you clarify your point regarding the hotel door? Would it be appropriate for her to open the door for him to allow her in (first)? Why/why not?

Bogen, thanks for putting it so well. Nuran engaged in an ad hominem, and that will not win his arguments any points. I think it is a sad commentary that a couple of posters took issue with will hill for simply quoting Shulchan Aruch and Rambam. If the Shulchan Aruch/Rambam makes someone uncomfortable hearing/seeing it, the problem is with the person not C’V with the Shulchan Aruch/Rambam.

As Yidden we do not do what “we” feel is right, or what seems right based on the outside world. We follow Shulchan Aruch.
