Reply To: Is individualism allowed???

My real thoughts are concerning OTD. While I dont think there is one reason people go OTD, I am becoming convinced that individuality is part of it.

A Bocher comes home and says he doesnt want to wear a hat and it becomes an argument and leads to worse later. If someone doesnt want to wear a Hat, It isnt the end of the world

A teenage girl comes and decides she doesnt want to marry young have 10 kids and would like to become a writer. While many would consider this terrible, I have heard of many cases where a woman got married young and felt it was a mistake (I am not talking about a 35 year old single woman, I am talking about a 18 year old)

If some individually is allowed we can keep these people, but if we tell them ITS MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY , some will pick the highway.

I am sure many of you like wearing the white shirt and that is fine but it seems its being forced on others who it might be a terrible idea. If a person like to wear a collard shirt with 3 buttons down (Like a Polo brand shirt, but not as expensive) Why shouldnt they. For some this might be important to them.

maybe you like wearing the poncho, I actually dont. I wear a coat that nobody wears in a yeshivish community (I like to wear Leather coats)
