Probably much of the womens stuff is also dry clean except for the robes which probably get hung inside as well. It's obvious that they don;t hang women's undergarments outside because of tznius. Then seminary girls all wear button down shirts that can easily be misinterpreted as men's clothes. The other possibility is convenience of seperating darks and whites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-58208760463671471552009-02-23T20:17:00.000+02:002009-02-23T20:17:00.000+02:00I think that this is just a toztah of the real din...I think that this is just a toztah of the real din. There is no issur at all to hang men and womes clothes together. <BR/><BR/>However, there is a shaila by mixed swimming if there is a problem of mixed swimming eve if you are fully dressed. Now, being that the oilam in meah shearim likes to do as much as they can based on how it was done in the alya heim - meaning meah shearim - they do laundry by tossing the clothing into a pool of water. Now you can clearly see how the issur of mixed swimming ended up fallign into play here - bc according to some poiskim there is even an issur derabonon to have mixed swimming of cloting. So they cant wash them together. Now even those that use a washing machine are machmir - 1) bc they dont want any one to know thay use a washing machine and 2) we are not noheig kulas anymore and 3) to be yotze the daas yachid that even in a washign machien, its assur m'ikakr d'dina<BR/><BR/>ps - i think jeremy is right according to the minority opinionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-84380114639875882262009-02-23T18:58:00.000+02:002009-02-23T18:58:00.000+02:00The halakha says that one is not supposed to look ...The halakha says that one is not supposed to look at the garment of a woman, even if she is not wearing it, if it will cause improper thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you can start from there-<BR/><BR/>Were women's clothes actually hanging, only not together with men's?
