Title: Is "Billy Graham Rule" more strict than Halacha?
Post by: Binyamin Yisrael on July 27, 2019, 10:15:49 PM
Some women say it's sexist but doesn't it work both ways that a woman would avoid such a situation too?

It seems like it's more strict than Halacha because the laws of yichud don't apply in a public place or if the door's open, etc.... Do the goyim that follow this do it also if they are single? What about touching? Touching is more strict in Judaism and the same rules are for singles and people that are married. If the goyim did this rule even before marraige, then they could never go on a date either.

It's a attempted copy of halacha. There are a million situations that could arise, they consider this a nice thing to do, not a law so there are no details to it.

Why always with the yahoo news here. The articles are as leftist as could be. This isn't treating a woman like an object, or any of the other weird claims there.

I see Yahoo articles on the main Yahoo page when I log out of my E-mail. I don't go there to look for articles.
