“ 2] CS wrote that non habad women MAY fall into watching non Jewish movies .
So MAY the habad women .
Is there any evidence of increased prevalence in the case of non habad women ?
Based on anecdotal evidence it might be just the opposite.”

You’ll have to remember this was said in response to Arso who claimed that lubavitch is way behind in yiras shomayim than other groups. My point was other groups demand external appearances etc (with repercussions) and so even someone dressed perfectly may still be tempted to watch movies and other undesirable things/ behaviors. Whereas in Chabad you pretty much see what you get- in fact we overall tend to dress more modern than our personal standards are, than the other way around.

Of course we also have people who are modern, and unfortunately go off. We are not immune, but I would say our yiras shomayim is at least comparable if not better overall, taking into account that many aren’t ffb, certainly not for generations.

“3] CS insinuated that non habad rebeim and rabanim do not feel responsibility for klal yisrael .”

I think this was an obvious fact-Chabad reaches all Jews wherever they’re at. This doesn’t mean satmar provides bikur Cholim packs only to satmar or zaka only treat one type of Jew. Au contraire. But they are not looking, nor are equipped to help every Jew with every issue, spiritual or physical, the way the Rebbe led. If you don’t know what I mean, you can see the my encounter videos from jem from every walk of life, or open the igros kodesh of the Rebbe for that matter. This is not a slur on others, it’s just extraordinary leadership.
