The Magical Ingredient

I think I've found the magical ingredient for generating tons of comments on LJ, at least among my friend- circle, and it is very simple-

Talk about head-covering and/or ritual-wear and gender.

I guess people with those interests tend to congregate.

I think other halakhic concerns might get close- so, here's one I need to do some research into- what has the status of a shoe, and the acceptability going barefoot during (davening on) Yom Kippur.

originally, i dunno. you'd have to pull one of those "latent racism" style image-flash-word-association tests on me to see what it is. but at this point in my life, having known many men with long hair, and a somewhat smaller number of women with long or short hair who wear yarmulkas, i feel like it's definitely the hair-length that does it.
