re: #5 Learned Mother of Zion

I fully agree that a molestation (or domestic violence, or, or) Asifa would be more valuable than the one being staged at Citi Field. But, the Internet Asifa reflects the perceived threat rather than the actual one. As such, it is instructive to see what the Haredim get up in arms about. Phones with cameras, parking lots - all these peripheral things are portrayed as great threats to Judaism. That these are the chosen targets is a subject to big to handle here.

As an aside, it is not necessarily true that the ability to freely access porn diminishes the urge to act out. But, I am not a psychologist so I will not take a firm position, one way or another.
