Pious Perverts

The state-funded religious-nationalist school of Orot Girls opened in new premises in September in the city of Bet Shemesh. As per school regulations, all the girls wear skirts to their knee or even below, and their sleeves reach the elbow, at least. All of the modestly attired students are between the ages of 6 and 12.
Since the school's opening in September, groups of fanatic Haredim men have been gathering regularly at the gates to harass the students, yelling "whore" and "slut" at the girls and their mothers as they enter the school grounds. These fanatic fundamentalists claim the girls are immodestly attired and want to impose on them their extremist view that even little ones as young as six should cover up all of their skin. Being the mentally challenged types that these Haredim are, they resort to such tactics as launching stink bombs of excrement and rotting fish through classroom windows to try to force the school out of the neighbourhood.
Of course, it must be noted that not all Haredim are funcionally brain-dead, as are the protesters outside the school. Jonathan Rosenblum, a Haredi columnist for the Jerusalem Post, has vocalized his opposition to the "vandalism, taunts and threats" being employed in Bet Shemesh, and some Haredim women in the city, wanting to distance themselves from the extremists, have approached the students "sister to sister" to give them flowers and tell them that they are beautiful.
Unfortunately, none of that changes the fact these morons are out there harassing these innocent children on a daily basis, subjecting them to fear they have done absolutely nothing to deserve. Community activist Rabbi Dov Lipman asked one protester why they were so focused on the way the girls were dressing. The answer he received was "even an eight-year-old draws my eyes".
I have said it before, and I will say it again. The fact that a person has several fleshy protuberances dangling between their legs means nothing more than the owner of those protuberances is a male of the species. In no way does it signify any kind of superiority, no matter what the owner of the aforementioned danglers might want to think.
A child of eight has no wish to draw the eyes of any adult male in a lustful manner. She hasn't even got any real understanding of lust at that age. It is only the lustful adult male casting his eyes on a little one who is engaging in improper behaviour. Any male who indulges in such thoughts is a pervert, plain and simple. Such a possessor of those fleshy protuberances is naught more than a pedophile. It is the children who need protection from such a one, not the other way around, no matter what the pious pervert might try to say otherwise.
