I think the tznius issue is part of a general lowering of standards issue which I believe has a lot to do with how much we are influenced by the non Jewish world. Im pretty sure that a family that doesn’t watch movies, doesn’t read non Jewish newspapers or books and magazines and stays away from non Jewish music and anything else that’s influenced by the non Jewish velt like Disney stuff……will likely have women and girls who dress Tzniusdik. The idea to wear those crazy shaitels does not enter a pure mind, same thing with wearing certain clothing.
Its odd that there seems to be a mistaken double standard in that men have to stay away from all the shmutz and shouldn’t watch movies…but its ok for girls to do so. I know of many “frum” families that don’t let their boys watch movies…but the girls are allowed to and they take the girls to broadway shows and let them read novels magazines…
If you fill a girls head with trash she will view herself as trash and become trashy. Its obvious that non Jewish girls have very low self esteem and think that they should be objects of desire as is promoted by Hollywood and the media that they are so absorbed in. A Jewish girl who is involved with non Jewish media and entertainment will come to the same “conclusion” about herself. We need to guard our senses so that we have pure minds and don’t act like the immoral people of the world.
