[Avodah] what actually is the issur

[M Cohen]

..my comments were only 'limud zechus' for the girl - clearly singing in
front
of nJewish men an activity that one would recommend that Jewish women s/
stay away from.


However, I'm not sure I understand the connection between your 2 examples.

Brothel ownership (even if not technically asur) is clearly an activity that
one would recommend that Jews s/ stay away from

However, being a plastic surgeon (even for enhancing of parts of females'
bodies) is mutar
(I wouldn't want my child to choose it for their career, but if asked a
shaila if such a career choice was mutar I would have to say yes)

Subject: what actually is the issur


From: "M Cohen" <>
..., what actually is the issur for a Jewish lady to sing in front
of nJewish men (ie when l'fnei iver is not an issue)?
>>

Which reminds me of a discussion recently, if there is any
issur (and if so, what?) to own a brothel - where all the
employees and customers are not mibnei bris?

This came up after someone claimed that the 'hetter' for a frum doctor
who has gone over to specialising in 'enhancing' the non-tzenius
parts of females' bodies, was, that he is osek bimelachto and
thus spared from hirhurim.

So the question arose re using a similar 'hetter' to operate a brothel.
