over at that other Bronstein household blog , there's some guy named Zev who has repeatedly proven himself to be annoying. and now he's dumb enough to knock on my hometown.
i really have nothing more to say to him. i'm just curious about why he thought i wouldn't mind his dig, and what exactly he meant to prove by it.
oh, avs is gonna be annoyed that i called the guy a schmuck...
I SO understand what you are talking about (re: the slacks.) I am now a
boro parker (alas, dark days are here.) I, like yourself, if you saw me -
would think "God, she's chassidish". Im not. More power to you. Im
getting so fed up with people darshening about what and who you are if you
do/say/wear certain things. Its sickening. Like your style! At least
you've got more guts than I possess at the moment.

Liz - make no mistakes about it, it's hard. it's less that it takes you
out of the community than that people are really mean, so you draw back,
and then you end up not being involved - i knew more guys in Shul (my
chevra that's still at YC) than married women, and i've been living in the
Heights a damned long time.
and it hurts. it really hurts to see the scorn on someone's face when my air os covered and i'm wearing pants, but i know that if i stop, it will ultimately hurt me more.
i also had decent training for this - you may have noticed my birthmark. as a kid i had to figure out how to deal with rejection for superficial reasons.
[at least wearing pants is a choice i made. : )]
Shabbat Shalom!
