Yatzmich – “they’re thinking it’s normal.” Good! Then there’s no problem of tznius violations. I think the main problem is that the men aren’t keeping up with what’s normal. Well start, then. If a man has etzba k’tana issues (read: improper thoughts about “normally” dressed women), how DARE he blame the women? Obviously, minhag hamakom doesn’t remove the issur histaklus of actual ervah. But this is not the issue here. What we’re discussing is men like you making blanket statements about all men. It’s not a nisayon for me, and shouldn’t be for you. Take some responsibility.
“typical yeshivisha guy with the unkempt beard and dirty eyeglasses”
As someone who isn’t yeshivish I nonetheless take offense to your bigoted stereotype. Many yeshivisha people try to look respectable. Your statement reminds me of how Nazis described Jews.
