gaw- What you’re saying is entirely untrue. The general population of Meah Shearim does not enforce its way of life on anyone else. Have you ever had a civilized conversation with anyone who lives there? I’ve spoken to the Toldos Aharon rebbetzin and her daughters. I’ve also spoken to others in Meah Shearim. Despite the fact that I’m obviously very different from them, none of them ever said anything unkind to me. I didn’t hear a word of criticism about my mode of dress, which is very much below their standards. They keep their standards for themselves, and don’t want anyone to force them to lower them. That’s all.
