You know, a RAV wrote the problem is not looking at dancing or undressed women, but watching women on purpose and for pleasure. He said it was men's responsability not to look and if they can't, too bad for them and no reason to annoy the women. This rav permits NOT HAVING A MECHITZA for that reason (of course touching is forbidden so men and women can't dance together).

I like his point of view, that men need to learn to control themselves and not need to be protected, especially on women's cheshbon.

It is not forbidden to see women dancng, it is forbidden to watch women, dancing or not, in order to have pleasure from it.

Dances must be separated, but it is not mandatory to built a physical separation.

How do women suffer from having a mechitza in place?

In some weddings they are not even in the same room!! I don't get it, if they are so afraid that some people will misbehave, they just should not invite them. Some bochurim got drunk and misbehaved at my engagement, where there was no dancing by the way, they just weren't there for the wedding!

Ruchel, your diagram has nothing to do with mechitzos but your personal circumstances. My wedding had mechitzos right down the middle and everyone was comfortable.

The separate rooms is for tznius, not because they're afraid a man is going to start attacking women.

Crayon that's good, because I often see mechitzos like mine or no mechitza and nothing between these two... When it is fairly done I have no problem with a mechitza. Actually I grew up not knowing some rabbis allowed no mechitza.

I personally do not see what is untsnius about being in the same room.

It is true that a mechitza isn't a big problem when built fairly.

But it would be good for men train themselves in such situations, so they won't have it too hard among the non Jewish women (much worse). I'm sure at least most of them can learn, but why would they if they are always sheltered? Just my opinion - I didn't even know it was shared by some rabbanim.

Of COURSE a true ben Torah is working on himself, but men are "designed" so that this is a HUGE ta'avah for them! If a BT LOVED pepperoni pizza, but obviously doesn't eat it anymore, you wouldn't dangle it in their face!

Also, as one rav I know put it (actually, I think this is a combo of s/t 2 rabbeim said...): Women say - it's his problem - he shouldn't be looking. But if someone dehumanizes ME, that's MY problem! Someone who steals has a problem and loses out by his weakness - but I'm still not going to flaunt all my diamond jewelry on the A-train (use your imagination if you don't know NYC!) because the mugger should learn to control himself!

It's true too.

I suppose everyone should contact their rav about what way to follow...

okay that made me laugh Nervous however ... we all see men and men see women everyday everywhere ... it is ridiculous to think that anybody should act as though they are not fully clothed (now that would be flaunting) and such a turn on that no one can function as normal human beings ...
