oomis1105: I never said there should be a “tznius police”, nor did I suggest that anybody should “accost” anybody else in any way. Actually, I specifically said that giving mussar “must be done in a way that will not push them away”. You have the right to disagree with me: but please, first take the time to make sure you understand what I’m saying! Obviously mussar must be given with saichel, in a way it will be accepted. Ie, start a conversation with the person and then mention “oh, is that fresh lipstick you’re wearing? I was always under the impression that that was a halachic shailah, but of course I’m no Rav. However, you might want to ask one.”
Helpful: Agreed. However, if somebody doesn’t appreciate the mussar, she won’t listen, and if anything will be less receptive to mussar in the future.
rebdoniel: Good point.

“If you save someones guf you save their neshamah as well use logic!”
Really? If you save somebody’s life you stop them from going to gehinom? Guess my logic is down today.
“I don’t know of one mainstream Orthodox Rav who would say it is ok for a man to hand out cards about Tznius to women.”
Well how many have you asked?
emoticon613: Well said, great point.
