SJS in NYC -The way you apply your idea of feminism, it sounds like it is within the realm of torah. Buy you CAN NOT extrapolate your life to others. Many frum women who wouldn’t even consider themselves feminists, who live ultra-yeshivish communities, do the following: They routinely go out to malls and other shopping areas even if they really don’t need to buy something. They routinely go out with friends, to restaurants, malls, etc., just to hang out. Of course they must get dressed up for these excursions like they are going to a chasunah. Now, I’m not talking about the woman who needs to do this once in awhile to take a break from the stresses of life. I’m talking about ROUTINELY! Where did this come from -that this should be taking place in the frum community? My only answer is the influence of the goyim via what the world calls FEMINISM!
