No group of religious extremists, whether it be orthodox Jews, Muslim extremists, Christians or liberals should be allowed to exert such control.
Exactly.
It's unfortunate some people want to conveniently throw out the 'anti-semitism' card (or any other such card depending on the race/situation) in order to excuse extreme views that inconvenience others.

It's funny that liberals are the most religious extremists among us, wishing to control our every thought and action. But, when Christians or Muslims attempt the same, you better believe this gay, atheist Republican will be there attempting a block.

What's really funny is half the time liberals are accused of being godless atheists, I guess there's no agreement amongst the 'liberal this, liberal that' crowd, eh?
BTW, as long as it doesn't impact others who aren't interested, I really don't give a rat's ass how you think or act.
I have some sympathy for the Haredim, however this is fundamental a failure to adapt in a manner that is consistent with their long standing insistence on living peacefully within other cultures. If they don't wish to sit next to women, they need to either begin their own airline or buy out all of the surrounding seats.

My point is that they practice a religion onto themselves.
Austrian Airlines moves women after Haredim refuse to sit next to them
And here we go again: The pilot of an Austrian Airlines flight had to leave the cockpit and convince several women to change their seats after haredi Orthodox men refused to sit next to female passengers.
They're typically using low-venom serpents or "nerfing" the experience by using cooled snakes or ones that have had venom extracted recently.
This has been going on for a loooooong time so it's clearly not self-solving.
If you handed out a bunch of warmed up black mambas you'd have entire church groups obliterated in a single weekend.
One can only dream....
