2nd class citizens

Of course you know I'm talking about women.  This time it's Jewish women.  Ten of them were arrested for trying to pray at the Western Wall.  They had the audacity to break a law which prohibits them from wearing prayer shawls, praying and reading out loud from the Torah collectively at the wall.  These practices are reserved for men.  Violating them makes you subject to six months in jail and a fine of $3,000.
