I’m the first to say that these women are in desperate need of psychological treatment. However, when criticizing their tznius habits, it seems that the shoe is now on the other foot. To many fine Jewish people, separate seating or separate rooms for shabbos meals, separate sides of the sidewalk, shaving heads, thick black stockings and more of the same, all of these are just variations on the Taliban tznius theme.

The Taliban also have their rabbonim, and they don’t have to listen to anyone else’s. Many chassidishe/litvishe think of themselves as tzaddikim, but the Taliban group thinks those people will burn in hell. Maybe one day we’ll find out who was right, but in the meantime, we don’t really know, do we.

In the end, it’s all about where to draw the line. Don’t draw it for others because others will draw it for you.
