My last post on Lilith was a response to Rabbi Dov Linzer, a prominent figure in Open Orthodoxy, who recently published Lechery, Immodesty and the Talmud in the New York Times.
I find that (at least Jewish) discourse on modesty’s selective focus invisibly and artificially restricts that discourse to protect the status quo and preserve problematic inequalities between men and women that go much deeper than who wears what. Rabbi Linzer’s article, as welcome as it is as a response to fundamentalist Judaism, perpetuates that problem.
