 I do hope that if some gentleman asks you what time yizkor is in order that
his wife, who is home with 5 young children can come to shul to daven in
time for yizkor and maybe a bit of musaf shmoneh esreh as well you don't
give him the same answer. On the other hand, since I have never heard of a
shul in which men only come there for yizkor I must assume that we are
talking about two very different situations...
