“1) Wow, what a generalization. Not, “When did some of the people who dress “Yeshivish”…”. Nope. When did “the people who dress “Yeshivish””. All of them.
2) Why do you think that they all do?”
Granted. I’ll give you #1, but it wouldve been awkward wording had I said it like that and I was trying to prove a point.
I used to be neo-Yeshivish, ultra right wing. And after hearing all the rhetoric and the close minded-ness coming out of that camp (yes, I realize this post makes me sound close minded to Yeshivish) I realized that that lifestyle wasnt for me. The do as we do or you arent part of our “exclusive club” doesnt work for me. I’d imagine the “Yeshivish” movement started to unite Bnei Yeshiva but what its turned into is more of just excluding everyone who doesnt fit/follow all their “rules”
