The Lev Tahor is a extremist Jewish cult, that strictly holds true to the Torah. According to them women are to be covered in black from head to toe, starting at age 3.

They are holding to the Jewish customs that were present in 1st c. Palestine. That's the way women were treat in Jesus' day.

And Jesus, nor Paul, spoke out any clear message against it. Instead women were to shut up, and be silent.

And patriarchy and misogyny continued on for centuries, supported by the Bible.

Children kidnapped by Hasidic cult found safe in Mexico, leaders charged

[by ZNP] Are you really so clueless? Both Jesus and Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom to the ends of the earth. That preaching of the truth is what has set people free. That has led to the enlightened age we have today. That has revolutionized the world.

Instead, you would have had this all fizzle out in some pointless "rebellion" 2,000 years ago about what? This from the same guy who applauds Chinese dictators cracking down on all forms of religious expression.
