DaasYochid; I am puzzled by your criticism. When was I ever – g-d forbid- disrespectful to any gedolim?? All I have ever done is ask questions “lo habbaishan lomed” and it is never -g-d forbid- “lekanter”, only to know what their answers might be.
As for your second point- of course, the sukkos gathering was different but you surely know that women continued to come to the bais hamikdosh for many reasons. What happened on pessach? all year round? If we accept that there was no balcony-hence, no separation- why do we have today [in the chareidi world] a mechitza virtually everywhere ? is it a ‘midus chassidus” or is it halacha?
