Mariner, while I agree with everything you say, I think you were a bit too harsh on Joseph. I have trouble understanding his thought process, as well, since when I expect a long post, he often gives a very short one, and other times vice versa. Nevertheless, he is a sincere yid with a very different hashkafa than mine. However, we should all refrain from name calling. I think your terminology was too harsh.
Joseph, we have shifted into this digression in response to my question which you never answered. I asked can you show me any mekor that women must dress ugly when they go out and cannot look attractive in public. I asked about the chiyuv to buy them a new dress for yontof, and how the gemara discusses their jewelry in rehsus harabaim on Shabbos. You then changed the subject to saying they are not allowed to go out at all. Please get back to my original question about whether women are supposed to have two sets of clothes; an ugly set for outside, and a pretty set for inside.
