Of course Hatznei'a Leches is going to be manifest differently by gender, but the source is the same.<br /><br />I don't not respect RCK, but it is very problematic to compare kedushah achieved by aseh tov with kedushah achieved by sur mei'ra. <br /><br />While QE II is not a bad role model, of course it is very different. Besides which, while her tzeniyus is not bad, I am not sure if her Hatznei'a Leches is in the spirit of Micha HaNavi. (Although it is hard to define how HL can be applied to Malchus.)Yosef Gavriel Bechhoferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264311760560329892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425001.post-54830301038017418922016-07-27T17:31:00.567-04:002016-07-27T17:31:00.567-04:00I agree with him, with a slight shinui. Immodesty ...I agree with him, with a slight shinui. Immodesty for a man means he's a slob and doesn't care what other people think. Immodesty for a woman is abizraihu. I think it's just the way things are. The same way Netzor leshoncha is a sam hachaim, even though it's a negative/passive, so too, dressing modestly, for a woman, is a sam hachaim. i know you don't respect him, but Reb Chaim Kanievsky was asked how a woman can be zocheh to kedusha if she doesn't learn Torah, and he answered by being very careful with tzniyus. I really think you, and my wife, are diminishing the chashivus of tzniyus by saying that it's just a matter of behaving like Queen Elizabeth.Eliezer Eisenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036989084122930226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425001.post-42541754928626871332016-07-22T12:54:39.757-04:002016-07-22T12:54:39.757-04:00Some discussion at https://www.facebook.com/groups...Some discussion at https://www.facebook.com/groups/OJADAR/permalink/1121568424553820/Yosef Gavriel Bechhoferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264311760560329892noreply@blogger.com
