Before this gets out of hand my comment was an attempt at humor. It is no secret about my views towards all women. My views as to the way Orthodox women are treated are still evolving as I talk to more members here. To use the word “disturbed” is a little harsh. After the DO two DDF members and I walk around for at least a half hour. We could have discussed the latest and greatest deals. Instead I asked questions like “what do the strings hanging down from your shirt mean” and “what is the big deal about turning on a light during Shabbats”. Their answers were very enlightening.
truly was a great conversation ;)

Just to clarify, the reason why Orthodox Jews seperate men and women has nothing to do with disrespect to women. It's because we believe you shouldn't be attracted to a women who's not your wife, therefore we seperate the genders. Even if you don't agree with such an idea, is it an idea worth boycotting? (I know you weren't serious that you boycotted it, but you do seem disturbed by the fact that it was men only).

I don't believe that at all. It's normal to be attracted to people of the opposite gender (it's normal and healthy), so the rabbis enacted gender segregation as a precaution to keep the genders from mingling (i.e. to demote promiscuity).

My apologies. It's nice to see someone brought up in the General American society can be open to understanding a culture/religion that on the surface looks extremely backward, especially in regards to women.

Only by people who see things in a warped way. Part of the problem (no offense) is when Orthodox Jewish people describe these rules the way you did. It isn't about separating women from men, it's about segregating genders. What starts off as semantics ends up giving people the wrong ideas.
