WOW, signs written in Yiddish in S. Williamsburg tell women to step aside when men walk down the sidewalk

Seriously?! Sadly yes, Hasidic Jewish men have posted signs along Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg Brooklyn that translate to:

"Precious Jewish Daughter: Please move to the side when a man approaches!"

These guys need to get a grip and deal with the fact it's 2011 and we're um, in America. You don't ever tell someone to walk behind you or vacate the sidewalk because a man is walking by. Ask African-Americans how they might react if once again they were told to use the "other" drinking fountain or to sit in the back of the bus. We don't care if it's religion based or just some wacko thinking he's now the signage director for the neighborhood, #1 those signs MUST come down and #2 never go back up again.

Once again, religion on the move in a threatening way. Johnny's plan for banning all religion needs some work it seems.
