Text ads without pictures seen as too sexually exciting.
The latest crazy chumroh, established in Modiin Ilit, is that women cannot advertise their cosmetician services.
It seems that seeing an ad for eyebrow shaping is a big turn on for some men and advertising such services is considered not tznua. [modest]
How can women drum up business without being allowed to advertise? It is a shame because so many wives of avreichim [kollel students who do not work], a very popular profession in Modiin Ilit, are cosmeticians, and this will be another blow to them, as tzniyus committees continue finding ways to limit the earning opportunities for women under the guise of tzniyus.
I also feel bad for the guy that can be turned on by something so innocuous as a text ad for "seedur gabot" (eyebrow shaping/arrangement). I just heard about a magazine that printed a picture of a sheitel head (those heads made out of foam) in a magazine. A woman called up to complain saying her husband can be turned on by a sheitel head. They agreed to not print images of sheitel heads again (to their credit they also told her that her husband should see a therapist). In essence they perpetuate the stupidity by acquiescing to such demands). They should have told her that he should not not be reading their magazine if that is the case.
