To hop off someone else

Not a meme, so not lizarded, but well- a thought provoked by [livejournal.com profile] navelofwine in her other venue.

She was talking about wearing a tallit, and how it slips off due to the fact that she's female, and hence lacking in large broad shoulders (although I see that happening to a decent number of guys too- I think they should just have snaps that attach to one's clothing). So I was thinking about being particularly traditional and egalitarian. And how to wear tfillin and cover one's hair appropriately after marriage- how the heck does that work? I know I've seen women who cover their hair at egal minyanim on Shabbat, but- what about during the week?

One wears a hat while playing trombone by pushing the hat forwards, just a little if one has excellent posture, and more if one tends to let one's horn tilt some. It's a pain in the tuchus for marching band, let me promise you.
