it’s even more that men and women talk to each other without the barriers people used to have. “
That might possibly be true in terms of the subject matter of their conversations. But I believe that men and women talked far more to each other 50-60 years ago, than they do today. They socialized more together, the men AND women had conversations at different occasions, they sat together at simchas, etc. We did not hear about frum men going after other women, or married women behaving inappropriately with men. And admittedly, those frum women dressed according to standards that would not be considered particularly tzniusdig today (but were considered so then). So if we are the ones who are seeing this problem becoming prevalent TODAY (when women dress much more modestly than in yesteryear when there was very little problem in this area), to what do you believe can we attribute this behavior?
