Disclaimer I ahve not seen the artcile : is there a URL?
AISI it makes sense for women to have women doctor's and men to have male
doctors' [more tznius]

And if WTG is legit then we really should evolve towards separate services
completely with having men's minyaninm and women's tefillah [albeit w/o a
minyan]

I don't know how far to take this "separate but equal" theme but it is imho
the simplest way to accomodate both tsni'us and the enalbing of modern women
to fully participate
