Reply To: Tznius

Does everyone really feel that the reason frum women are going around with questionable attire is because they were suppressed and given too many “no”s in high school? A 30 yr old woman is still rebelling against the “tznius lady” from BY?

When are we all going to grow up and realize that the “tznius lady” is no longer scrutinizing us and we’re not “getting away” with anything? When are women going to be mature enough to understand that it’s really only you and the Ribono Shel Olam?

But maybe this is not the reason at all. Maybe it is really a lack of self-esteem. Some women do not feel good about themselves unless others compliment them. I mean truthfully, we all feel good when someone else says we look nice, but does looking nice mean we have to compromise our principles? There are no fashionable outfits out there that are unquestionably tznius?

Just thinking ‘aloud’.
