torah613 allow me to dissect:
“While there is nothing technically wrong with it,”
Define “technically.” Additionally, are you saying your next arguments aren’t technically provable? If so, I agree. As someone who thrives on technicalities, allow me to hone my craft. Please don’t take this personally.
“I feel this style is not modest”
feelings are unprovable. Also, define modest.
“ feminine,”
same response except replace “modest” with “feminine.”
“and inappropriate for a person who wants to project those traits.”
See above for request to define “these traits.” Also, define propriety in this context. Is it a technical term?
“It connotes tough, manly work (think motorcyclists and leather gloves).”
I think it connotes a new tznius feminine style (think new thread in the coffee room). Stating what it reminds you of doesn’t make it bad.
Additionally, in the yeshiva world, increasingly the women do the “tougher work,” as the men frequently stay in academia until the point that only white collar work tends to produce sufficient income for their large families, leaving their wives to do all the “tough” work. Oh, and please define “tough” as well.
I suppose the points I’m trying to make is 1. that the esoteric concept of tznius doesn’t lend itself well to technical limitations, and 2. stating that it’s technically okay, while listing unprovable technicalities as to why it’s not okay is contradictory.
