Nishtdayngesheft,
That isn’t why Rabbi Broyde was removed from the BDA. The reason is what Sam2 explained. What you wrote is motzi shem ra.
HaKatan,
The opening poster wanted to know what source existed for the practice of married women not covering their hair. Rabbi Broyde wrote an lengthy piece on that very subject. Neither I nor Rabbi Broyde said that this was a normative halachic ruling, but that doesn’t mean that generations of ehrliche women didn’t have anything to rely upon. Ask your local Talmud Chacham about the concept of limmud zechus.
What are the other reasons that pants are problematic, other than beged ish and Daas Yehudis (aka tznius)?
Sam2,
Thanks for the citation. I will look it up when I get a chance.
