This is one of my favorite topics – but I am unclear as to your reasoning to mention that you are not talking about those in MO circles – could it be that you don’t expect a MO woman/girl to be a tzanua? And also I don’t understand why the need to state that you are not a Rebbitzen, could it be that a Rebbitzen has a higher standard? HMMMMM………
Now, NY Mom, I hold your hand agree with you that WE as a collective people have made very unbecoming compromises. I believe that before we can address the why we must first acknowledge that the issue exists.
I see too many young ladies wearing very tight fitting clothes and their manner of speech that could make even a streetwalker look twice. Is it a phase??? I don’t have daughters, but can tell you that my sons do look at many of the girls and oy the comments that they and their friends make…If the girls could only eavesdrop for a little bit they would hear what I hear and that is that “EDITED“
Sorry to be so crass, but folks – we have a problem!
I do think that it might be an ok idea to let the girls eavesdrop even for a moment.
