I didn’t say its exclusive to right wing orthodoxy. But whereas a MO person is more likely so sin mixed swimming, I know right wing orthodox people who do as well.

Whereas a molester can stay hidden in MO society, RW society is MORE LIKELY to hide the molester. Its a lot worse to be a known victim in RW society than in MO society.

Neither society blasts that any of these sins are OK. They are just more accepted than others.

If a RW guy in shul is talking about his tax fraud, no one would bat an eyelash. If he was talking about his wife going mixed swimming, people would kick him out of shul. But its more likely opposite for MO society.

I think one way to get along is to realize that each community struggles with DIFFERENT things. Then maybe you can respect a MO person who goes mixed swimming.

I am not libelous. I am honest. I can look within and see the issues. Each community has their own. I don’t believe in burying my head in the sand.
