re: #71 Irenicum

Wow. I still say that there is such religious diversity in each of the major religions that no settled “orthodoxy” can be ascertained as authoritative. As much as they might like to see this kind of segregation, in NYC (as an example) it ain’t gonna happen. It may happen in local venues (such as in some cities in Israel), but it no way represents a whole religion.

It isn’t even some cities in Israel. It is some neighborhoods. Even in those neighborhoods, there are people who are fed up with such crap.

I know several Israeli women - all well versed in martial arts from the army - who pointedly sit in the front of those busses - in their uniforms and sneer at the yeshiva bochers.
