Reply To: Tznius

smalltowngirl: You said, This is one of my favorite topics – but I am unclear as to your reasoning to mention that you are not talking about those in MO circles – could it be that you don’t expect a MO woman/girl to be a tzanua?

Um, in case you hadn’t noticed MO women have a completely different set of standards when it comes to mode of dress. Some wear pants, some don’t cover their hair at all, some will wear short sleeves and shorts in the summer, etc. I do not know how they decide what they can and cannot wear, so I don’t think I can speak to tznius as it relates to them.

You also asked: And also I don’t understand why the need to state that you are not a Rebbitzen, could it be that a Rebbitzen has a higher standard? HMMMMM………

My point in stating this was to convey the message that I am just a regular woman who is concerned about the level of tznius in our communities. I am not someone who gets up at a kinos or gives shiurim. I am your friend who you shmooze with on the phone, I am a mother in your child’s yeshiva, and I shop at the same stores that you do.

Hope that clears things up for ya’!
