Good or bad?

Tzitzit or tzitzis
are "fringes" or "tassels" worn by observant Jews on the corners of four-cornered garments,
including the tallit (prayer shawl).
In Orthodox Judaism, they are worn only by men.
How do I feel about women wearing them, ummm, I'm not Jewish.

If wearing them holds meaning for the woman, she should go ahead and wear them. On the other hand, if they hold no meaning for her, she should respect the tradition behind them and leave them to the men of the Jewish faith.

I find it to be inecessary. There are certain mitzvot for men and there are others for women. Tzitzis are just for men to wear, just like candle lighting before Shabbat is just for women. Plus, I find tzitzis to be quite sexy on men.

this isn't a woman's attire! Women wanting to be like man. Jewish men wear them! ARGH!!! I hate seeing women do that. Who do they think they are.

Orthodox-No,No,NO
Reformed-Wear what?
Conservative- In this denomination,Yes...but in this shul,be ready for all sorts of comments!
My thoughts? If it is meaningful for the woman,why not?

Is that some new fashion accessory I don't know about?
EDIT: well I knew what it was but I never knew it was called a tzitzis.Anyway, I still don't understand your question.
