There is nothing wong with the word puhleeze. It is an eyeroll and a “what are they going to come up with next?” feeling that is my instinctive reaction. If however it offended ames, then I do apologize to her, as that was certainly not my intent. I was more expressing support for HER OWN attitude about her husband’s line of reasoning. If you look at her own statement, she says, “I say, why the heck is it my problem what he thinks..” (and yes, I assume she is referring to the GUY who sees her walking in a skirt and long pants underneath, and NOT to her HUSBAND). And she is right, and so is AZI, that we cannot be responsible for the thoughts of every person on the street. Any guy who is so carefully scrutinizing women on a regular basis to see if they are tzniusdig enough, is looking way too much at women altogether and has a problem.
I am reminded of a male teacher of mine in seminary, who would regularly comment on our skirt lengths (fortunately I was never the object of his scathing remarks), and even at that time, I was wondering to myself, “He came into the classroom and we were already seated – why is he staring at our legs? Is that really appropriate for him to be commenting on this all the time?”
