Not so simple. Leitzanus is any jokes about Torah concepts that will cause a lessening of respect and appreciation for Torah and mitzvos. By joking about Tznius you make it seem like its a joking manner. Unfortunately its a very serious matter and needs a lot of chizzuk. We live during a time where immorality is rampant and modesty is looked down upon. There is no concept of modesty to the world at large and it is seeping in more and more into our communities and eroding our sensitivities. We need to fight back. Making jokes just adds to the feeling of its not that important. I don’t want to go on a rant here but humor is another thing that has gotten out of hand. There used to be a sense of decency and a line where certain things are beyond the pale and not joke material. Today anything goes. There are comedians that have routines on the Holocaust (funny topic no?) and the crowd is rolling away. We aren’t them and we can’t make jokes about things that have to be serious or we lose our appreciation for that thing. Leitzanus achas doche meiah tochachos.
