Of course I respect you! I just never want to be remended that you exist.

Di Tzeitung said it has a "long standing editorial policy" of not publishing women's images.
It explained that its readers "believe that women should be appreciated for who they are and what they do, not for what they look like, and the Jewish laws of modesty are an expression of respect for women, not the opposite".

Di Tzeitung, published in Yiddish in New York since the 1880s, demonstrated this respect for women in its standard way: by literally airbrushing them out of history in a way that students of Stalin's Russia will find disturbingly familiar. By making them even more invisible than Afghani women in Burkas, who at least are allowed to be seen to exist, even if they are forbidden from having public faces. By ensuring that women are retroactively removed from the historical record.

Because nothing says “respect for women” like feeding their very existence down the memory hole.
