“You are doing exactly what you claim I am doing, You are lumping everyone in the 5 towns, They are not Monolithic, there are all kinds of people there”
None of us are doing that except for you in regards to the Lakewood types. We are simply acknowledging a regional problem. If someone says you’re going to see untznius things at Daytona Beach, it doesn’t mean they’re passing judgement on every resident of Daytona Beach; they’re just stating a fact. There certainly are halachah-abiding folks in the Five Towns, but why should that mean we ignore the greater problem?
For the facts:
On Central Avenue in the Summer, rov females are untznius. Anyone with the slightest bit of experience there knows this; it’s not even close to 50/50.
The schools in the area are not yeshivish, and 5 Towners purposely and disingenuously take credit for the yeshivish communities of Far Rockaway and Bayswater to claim they have a mix.
For your unrelated analogy: only a fool would think that there is no financial fraud in the frum community, but only someone blinded by MO propaganda would think it’s more than 50% of the frum community.
