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?

I assume it's the top, or it would probably be impossible for anyone with a high forehead to keep them on securely.

When I got mine, the guy told Steve that the bottom shouldn't be below the hairline, and I've been putting them on accordingly... Maybe this one's worth looking into.
