Why can't any of you respect the families for whom this is a breach of their sensitivities or chumras?

Respect for other yidden should go in both directions.

When your "sensitivity" is inherently disrespectful toward other people, it does not deserve respect.

I think it's great. If they do it a few more times such that it's clearly an ongoing change in policy, I'll subscribe.

Huh?! Why?

I do know they will get flak for it
They got so much flak for when several years ago there was an outline / sketch on the cover of the magazine of Hillary Clinton

Just curious what imas here think.
Who do you think calls in?

Ladies that are “ protecting “ their husbands eyes, ladies that are scared that their husbands will see another female and who knows what will happen

Or men that want to “protect” their eyes

Respect for other yidden should go in both directions.

It's a fair question you are asking. The reason is that we do not see it as sensitivities or chumros. For those of us who prefer to not expose our children to secular media, magazines, books, etc... Many feel it is necessary to have tznius females included in reading material etc. Our girls should see women and be proud and confident in their role.

For example, there is a great book for kids called A Yiddishe kop, but where are the women and girls? There is even a family shabbos table without a mommy drawn... women are completely absent from the whole book in every scene. It's like a whole world without women.

Does this viewpoint make sense to you? The point is that we don't see it as being "frummer" to exclude pictures of women from frum media. In fact we see it as very detrimental.
