The rabbi of the Jerusalem neighbourhood of Nahloat distributed the stringent decree to his followers in synagogues across the area.
He had said young girls riding bicycles could cause serious damage to their modesty and that bicycle seats caused young girls to sit in a way men found provocative, according to the Arutz Sheva 7 website.
The ruling said: We inform parents that they are obligated to forbid their daughters from age five and up from acting in this illegitimate way.
Nahloat rabbi : Judaism :: Pat Robertson : Christianity.

MEN LEARN TO CONTROL THEMSELVES.
Because this idea that women have to cover up in order not to 'provoke' men is pathetic.

b) be kind and respectful to others
c) practice a healthy self control
The idea that women have to cover up or men have to be medicated in order not to rape or otherwise bully women is a scathing indictment of the 'islamo-judeo-christian' environment in which we find ourselves.
I suggest instead of anything being wrong with women or with men, the wrong is ALL with fundamentalist 'people of the book' religion and the patriarchal culture it has spawned.
