There was a time in recent memory when the Frum publications published pictures of women. The Artscroll biographies included many such pictures.
Recently, however, there has been a push to disallow pictures of women and girls, to the extent that publications blot out the faces of little
girls in their Purim costume advertisements.
Now I have no issue if a publication wants to cater to its readership. If you don't want to print pictures of women, that is fine. But then why print a picture of Rebbitzen Pam?
And finally, it is geneivas daas in my opinion to print pictures that are altered to make people think that there were no women in the picture.
Of course in this case it is entirely possible that the women were asked to step aside during a male only picture.
What happened to the rule that piety is all well and good until everyone starts laughing at you over it?

DeleteCAUSE I'M A JEW by Country Yossi
DeleteI wear a kipa on this head of mine.
I daven mincha in the proper time.
and by havdalah in my pockets I put wine
cause I'm a Jew I do that too.
I put my sh'lok down when it starts to rain.
I shake a lulav, which my neighbors think insane
I like to bury my gefilte fish in chrein
Cause I'm a Jew I do that too.
Chorus:
Cause I'm a Jew, cause I'm a Jew,
because the Torah tells me to I do that too,
I do the strangest things a man could ever do,
cause I'm a Jew I do that too.
Oh there are times when I where sneakers with my suit
and I must confess that it looks rather cute
and there is a time when we must send each other fruit...
cause I am a Jew I do that too.
Oh once a year I twirl a chicken over my head
and it wouldn't be that bad if it were dead
and there's a time when I go outside and burn my bread
cause I'm a Jew I do that too.
Chorus:
Cause I'm a Jew, cause I'm a Jew,
because the Torah tells me to I do that too,
I do the strangest things a man could ever do,
cause I'm a Jew I do that too.
Oh Once a month I go outside and bless the moon
and once a year I have to eat all afternoon
and there's a time a pound my chest and sing a tune
cause I'm a Jew a do that too.
On pesach I will drink four cups of wine, it's true
and then eat matzah till I have no strength to chew
then I eat horseradish until I am turning blue
cause I'm a Jew I do that too.
Chorus:
Cause I'm a Jew, cause I'm a Jew,
because the Torah tells me to I do that too,
I do the strangest things a man could ever do,
cause I'm a Jew I do that too.
I might be wrong about this, but I feel very irritated by so-called “Frum ladies” who are super-strict with all aspects of modesty in dress, but relentlessly spread gossip and slander and rumors about their fellow Frum Jews.
