Reply To: Short Skirts – No Excuses

nossond, i agree with you that the rantings against tznius stems from the yetzer hora. anytime the topic of tznius is raised you will find some people ranting against it trying to shut up those people.

i was once in a shul and there was a sign for an upcoming shiur by a very choshuv rov regarding tznius. a person next to me at the sign started ranting “how dare rabbonim speak about tznius! he should mind his own business! its not for men to deal with!” unbelievable. just from seeing a sign for a shiur. i guess he doesn’t realize shulchan aruch talks about tznius, as does so many other seforim. and it is the job of rabbonim and rebbetzins to talk about the problems in this area, as it really is everyone’s responsibility.

i notice this pattern anytime tznius comes up, you have those people. the worst part is that this topic is almost repressed. it is so rarely discussed in real life (outside of the internet and blogs.) i don’t see this phenomenon much with other issues interestingly. we honestly need more of these real life discussions to remind ourselves.
