1. solution reached
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (03.30.15)
In Beit Shemesh, known now by its initials: BS, an agreement has been reached in which there will be men only newspapers and women only newspapers. The men only newspapers with allow pictures of men only and not show pictures of women or even mention that women exist. The women only newspapers can mention that women exist, but they can not show pictures of women, just mention that they exist. Obviously this is in case a man (G-d forbid) should happen to read such a magazine. We don't want to corrupt men do we?
2. Honestly,
Eduard ,   Belgium   (03.30.15)
who reads those newspapers? Even frum people do not read them. And at least any Torah-observing Jew should stay away from falsified Information, pictures, etc.. Big noise about nothing?
3. Blanket rules
Boruch ,   Detroit, USA   (03.30.15)
The papers have a blanket rule, no females. It saves them from having to decide on a case by case basis what should and should not be allowed. While you may disagree with the ban on female pictures, there's no reason to protest a blanket rule. Indeed, the article itself, and those who agree with it, disagree with the ban itself, and the extreme makes the case for them, ad absurdum. Those who think feet should be shown as there is nothing wrong with feet, should do a google search on tyflas and discover a large group of fetishists who fawn over exactly that. Regardless, this is freedom of the press. The press represents a group of people (if it didn't, they would go out of business) and this is what the papers cater to. Why is that even a problem?
4. Let's drop the zealot and go for the zeal.
Jerusalem   (03.30.15)
There are petty issues causing divisiveness that need to be settled for the greater outstanding attributes that are going to show the zeal.
5. And jews talk about radical Muslims
Is this for real?   (03.30.15)

Marian ,   Romania   (04.01.15)

8. And ynet advertisements?
HIstory nut ,   Israel   (04.01.15)
It balances out the wacko religious and secular animals.
9.  Haredi papers ban picture of young girl's feet
Mirla ,   Phoenix, US   (04.28.15)
Shame on the Haredi woman for going along with the male weirdos who run their communities.
