I’m referring to the truly ignorant and stupid comment about women who dont wear socks.
Which part of the “shok” do the ankles belong to that halacha requires them to be covered by a pair of socks?
The Mishna Berura defines the “Shok” as the part of the leg from the torso down to the bottom of the knee (perhaps just below the end of the knee). The ankles are quite a bit lower.
Certainly many poskim from the previous generation as well as contemporary poskim disagree with this interpretation, but the MBs interpretation seems to have been accepted by many communities long before YWN and its forum for those who wish to make ignorant and stupid comments.
