Sexism and misogyny in Israel

"Women who arrived last week at the "Management Forum" organized by ultra-Orthodox newspaper Hamodia say they were not allowed to participate in the event, which was intended exclusively for men.  The women claim they weren't even offered a "women's gallery" at the end of the auditorium, and those who insisted were sent to watch the conference in a side room through closed-circuit television. "It was humiliating and incomprehensible," one of them says." (thanks Sarah)
