Wolf: Safety issues for a girl picking up a guy (and not a girl) = tznius issues. That’s the cause. Teachers teach high schol girls thought, not common sense (saftey).

I disagree. I think that if there are safety issues, then they should be taught as such. By making it a tzniyus issue, you are encouraging people to not to chesed when it is, in fact, warranted. A young girl taught to ignore a boy shivering in the rain could just as easily ignore an old man who has slipped on the ice and cannot get up.

Also, you don’t see the difference between giving tzedaka and helping a guy get dressed?? You know it’s not all equal

Who said anything about helping someone get dressed? By pointing out the fact that I understood that if there were yichud issues, I thought I made the point clear that chessed shouldn’t always be unrestrained and that there are proper occasions to abstain.
