I find it very telling that we can discuss, here in the CR or elsewhere, all sorts of issues and problems from problems with the shidduch system, problems with kashrus, problems in bungalow colonies, problems with honesty and stealing, parenting issues, alcohol and drug problems, teens at risk, other halachic issues/problems, and stam general issues – and everyone can argue – even passionately and heatedly at times – yet no one tries to shut down the discussion with the old and tired things like they suddenly do when tznius and related topics arise with eh, its not ahavas yisroel to mention this, its not proper to discuss, mind your own business, etc. etc. etc. By tznius issues this same band suddenly gets all up tight and doesn’t even want to hear about it. Not that they even deny the massive tznius problems besetting our frum society. No, they often even admit it. Yet on this issue almost singularly, they just don’t even want to hear about it with all the tired excuses.
