How Haredism is fun — in that male prison kind of way

In prison, the (relatively) more feminine men become identified as females. So too with the haredim! Since kol isha (womens’ singing voices) is banned in all its forms, in whole or in part, in order to achieve maximum halachic compliance (is there any other kind?), they often listen to male voices (particularly young, pre-pubescent male voices) that still sing soprano and alto.

Anyway, for the first time, this too is being banned.

The Jerusalem Post reports (via Failed Messiah),

The songs of 20-year-old Eliyahu Faizkov, a yeshiva student from Netanya, were recently banned by haredi pirate radio stations because his voice is uncannily feminine.

“At first my songs were received positively by the haredi radio stations,” Faizkov told the Ynet Web site. “But I suddenly noticed that they stopped playing my songs. It was as if someone confiscated them all. I contacted the stations to find out what was going on and the answer I got was precisely what I had feared, ‘Your voice is too feminine.’”

Apparently, listeners had called in to complain about Faizkov’s voice.

The truth is, the little bitch was asking for it. Look at this kurveh – he provocatively doesn’t button his collar button beneath his overly colorful tie, and he isn’t even wearing a hat.

What a slut!
