Oomis, what if a lady decides to wear no head covering or, worse yet, a miniskirt? Are these straightforward cases? “

People are ALREADY doing this. There is no question that these are serious issues, but I know there are rabbonim who in the past mattired some of these things. I certainly do NOT advocate for such liberalism, but neither will I call a woman a prutzah for failing to cover her hair (if married), or for wearing a shorter length skirt.

Pritzus is not only about what is covered up or not. It is about one’s behavior and demeanor. I have seen some very pritzusdig behavior in women who were covered from neck to ankle, and some exemplary eidelkeit in girls who were wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt. And btw, MEN can be as guilty or more so, of pritzus in their own behavior, and not with frum women. V’hamayvin yavin.
