That's where women who ride on certain buses in Israel go. Israel supplies ' modesty buses' as part of the public bus system. These buses are designed to serve the ultra-orthodox, but, in reality, everybody uses them. The problem is that on these buses women board from the back and stay there, men board from the front and stay there. This way the 'modesty barrier' is not broken.
Apparently, this is not the only segregation practiced by the ultra-orthodox in our ally's democratic country. Women do not go to to higher education in the world of the ultra-orthodox. They are also subject to abuse if they do not dress 'modestly'.
How much different is this behavior than that which is written about nutty Muslims or Christians?
