Such comfortable lives these people must have, so much leisure time, that this, to them, is an emergency.
It must be exhausting to live in a state of 24/7 histrionics.

The answer is obvious. These women should be wearing a burqua. In fact they should wear the Afghan style chadri with a mesh over those enticing eyes.
As for the frumma bus driver that had to leave his job because of these tznius violations, come on! He was just looking for an excuse not to work.

GASP!!!!!GADZOOKS!!!!!
Thank God she wrote this! Who knows how many millions of men will have been saved by not having to look at a square nanometer of a woman's skin?
Ladies, it's your problem! Fix it at once! It's not our (men's) problem that your immodesty is forcing us to look at you. Plus, each square nanometer of exposed skin delays moshiach's arrival by 1 year.

They are slip-pushers.
"Hey little girl, wanna try a full slip? Your first one is free…"
Sure, that's how they get you hooked, then the price goes up. Soon, the poor girls have a 20-slip-a-day habit. It's a downward spiral.

Thx for the chuckle Shmarya.....
I'm surprised Monsey survives with the sky falling all the time.

I thought this all would have been solved if the men just had been wearing their black-out-tznius glasses?
Posted by: Rochel | August 24, 2012 at 05:36 PM
Alternate solution (for the women): wear a Teletubbie suit?

Yes. Including the bus driver.

i live in monsey. i'm thinking of calling this woman...see if she's real. on the other hand, i'm quite busy and it probably is real. Lol
this woman needs to calm down.
2. i live in monsey. and i have never once seen anything not tznius from the orthodox communities. this goes for all the grocery stores etc.
this woman is looking for something to do!
3. heck, if i looked better....i'd be showing more skin!
4. "hair raising episode" is that what this woman wrote? omg
and a guy left his job.
anyway they are all full of shit.
the way a proper jewish yeshiva girl is taught to bend is to bend her knees and bend down knees bended. never ever over. isn't that what boaz saw in ruth?
so i feel that it's impossible that so many women bend over the way she describes.

Bus drivers could get a special exception status and these jobs given only to those special holy men that are above any temptations. :)

Ruthie, Am Kshei Oref, a stiff necked people who also lack other kinds of flexibility necessary to protect sensitive school bus drivers.
Actually the full slip is in line with double packaging like those awful kosher packages on long airplane trips.
The solution is simple, lets just double wrap and seal woman. Two pairs of heavy gauge nylons, an extra wig on top of the wig (or for some women, an extra hat on top of the hat on top of the wig,double sleeves, a shirt on top of a jacket on top of a shirt, and so on.
Of course these things always escalate so there will be tripple and quadruple wrapping.
Rabbi Pinchos Scheinberg probaby just started out with two pairs of tzitzes before he ended up with a hundred.
Of course by the time they get to enough layers no woman will be able to bend down even if they are as flexible as a yoga teacher.
But hey, what the heck, that is the price of tznius.
The alternative would be even blurrier glasses for the men. I think even the feminists can agree that would be a very bad idea for a school bus driver.

The moshiach isn't coming until all the people in Monsey mow their lawns, throw out their trash properly and take care of their property. He/she would be upset to see some streets in Monsey and Spring Valley. Maybe this lady should offer free weed wackers, lawn mowers, paint, etc

Given that the frumma can be very creepy, I would have to say that even I would not regard this as that creepy. It is not uncommon for married couples to share cell phones or have a few family cell phones registered under one name.

Sexually immature idiots.
Too much time on their hands. The idle mind is the devils playground. Grow the fuck up you mindless neanderthals. If the sight of a patch of bare skin offends you, then look the fuck away and get the fuck out of each other's business.

Guys stop making fun of my neighbors. If you could see the size of some of these women you would be overjoyed by the full slips!

You are wrong. According to this women every woman you raped this summer was asking for it.

Are thye serious? Do you know how many times I've seen accidental underpants malfunctions in KJ? And they are worried about backs-geez.
Stuff happens, and if Mr. Letter Writer ever went shopping for women's clothing he would know that you can't ever get shirts that are long enough, even if you want to. That extra 2 inches of fabric would just kill the manufacturer.
Posted by: mimi | August 25, 2012 at 07:16 AM
They believe in a god who created the human body, yet who regards the sight of even one square inch of it to be a grievous sin. He also gave them impulses against which they need constantly to be on guard.
At least the Christians explain it in terms of original sin. They don't have that luxury; they believe he intended it to work out this way.
And if the current insanity is, as Bassy suggested, due to the influence of BT's - what does this say about a belief system that attracts so many lunatics? I've seen the same thing happen with conservative Christianity and Tibetan Buddhism; they appear to attract almost no one who is relatively sane. What does this tell us about theology in general and "divine revelation"?

Monsey is the origin of the hashkofo that "tightening a seatbelt can be revealing womens'curves."

I'm surprised that Monsey isn't already submerged in semen, from all of that inadvertent ass-crack exposure and bare cankles.

Wait until the ad that shrieks about the untold damage caused by exposed full slips.

You know, when someone "religious" commits a crime, protects a criminal, flaunts the law, works to destroy other branches of Judaism, behaves unethically, bribes politicians, or in any way shape or form tries to ram their beliefs down the throats of others.....that's an issue.
Why is this an issue?

Posted by: God is not amused | August 26, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Ruthie-
Thanks for telling us the real situation in Monsey. I think we were getting worried about the immodesty there.
Being from an older generation, the exposure of normally covered skin when bending or reaching means that the woman lacks knowledge of the proper way to dress in a fashion sense.
Since many of these men don't get to see this little bit of skin at home, the women are doing the men of Monsey a favor, giving them a little pleasure.
Posted by: Bas Melech | August 26, 2012 at 11:49 AM
bas melech,
no, i meant to say they dress ok. tnzius. no problem there.
i'm just amazed that if they learn the basic boaz and ruth story EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW HOW TO BEND DOWN.
when i go out in the mornings to pick my newspaper up from the driveway, i ALWAYS think of ruth because of the way i pick the papers up.
so i call this entire story bullshit.
and i called. number is not in service.
Posted by: ruthie | August 26, 2012 at 12:34 PM
Also, seeing undergarments isn't tznius either. What would a slip do? Some men enjoy looking at ladies underwear.
Posted by: Bas Melech | August 26, 2012 at 12:34 PM
ps
i'm not even religious. and i think of ruth. so if these ultra orthodox don't then what the ? are they teaching them? to make chicken soup? ruth and boaz basic.
Posted by: ruthie | August 26, 2012 at 12:36 PM
Please tell me this is a joke.
Posted by: Mike M. | August 25, 2012 at 11:28 PM
nope their world begins and ends with religion and a lot of it is bullshit. not the religion. the people. they are so fucked up.
it's an addiction. truly.
Posted by: ruthie | August 26, 2012 at 12:38 PM
The thing is a "full slip" is considered an undergarment. So wouldn't exposing this undergarment through any of the bending over/reaching actions described in the "letter" be a "tznius violation?"
Posted by: Flatbush Girl | August 26, 2012 at 04:12 PM
Ruthie,
1. If you were religious, I mean Haredi/Hassidic, you wouldn't know about Boaz and Ruth; they don't learn Tanach, it's too corrupting. No joke.
2. The number's disconnected because I called and got that faker slut to have an hour of phone sex and five orgasms with me - even though I faked mine, she showed no concern for my simulated repeated spilling of seed in vain, so I told her I recorded the call and was posting it on YouTube. (I have a very hot voice unlike most of her whiney mangina male contemporaries)
Posted by: Nobody | August 26, 2012 at 06:10 PM
How come no one has yet forbidden women from leaving their home at all? Who needs all this pritzus in the streets? Groceries can be delivered, and beyond that woman have no function anyway.
