Did you mean out of the bathroom?  :P

Actually I meant in the house... my biggest sin as a kid was that I was not allowed to listen to sportrs on the radio, I hated it... i'd use my money to buy the newspaper and read it cover to cover

So how do you think you can tell the difference between the ones who use it to control and the ones who don't?
Sometimes, you can tell (not always) by whether they can be intellectually honest.
For example, my father did not want to buy soda for pesach because it was too expensive. But instead of saying that, he made it into a chumro. However,we all saw through it since he allowed buying other items and it wasn't across the board.

That doesn't sound like a power grab but rather an excuse.

The better way to tell is by whether they keep to it themselves or try to impose it on others. With schools it can be a little more vague since they possibly could have some standard but it should be a standard standard and not chumros.

This tweet is a rare example of actual quality satire on the frum community.

Well cited, indeed.

May I offer a compromise.  Publish pictures of women in black/white and taken with a 1940s camera?

Sounds good to me.
I wonder if the history would look any different when researching Israeli publications

The question is whether women dressed up to current tznius standards back then.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

There's a shell underneath.  Hard to tell because of the grainy pic.

I should teach in by

Oh. I didn't even bother clicking on the article. I was on hiatus from this thread, and just visited it now and saw @henche's suggestion. Being that I've seen some pictures from various era, I commented as I did.

I think the only valid point is that Mishpacha should cite their sources. And if it's one rov from 70 years ago, that for whatever reason was then a Shitas yachid but is now mainstream, cite the support from today's Rabbonim. It is an issue that is valid.
The way they are responding is as if they don't consider it to be an issue.

Because (if) they might have not, how does using a 1940s picture solve any issues. It might be b/w and low quality, but the dress code might not be up to par.

The magazines that don't publish pictures of women, do so regardless of how stringent the tznius standard of the pictured women is.
