Not only did Dr. Maayan and her husband have to sit separately, as men and women were segregated at the event, but she was instructed that a male colleague would have to accept the award for her because women were not permitted on stage.

So let me see if I understand this correctly. Dr. Maayan has the option to watch a colleague accept an award given to her for her hard work and talent because a handful of “ultra-orthodox” religious kooks hate women? Almost everyone else decides this is completely normal and the religious people should get special treatment that includes segregating the woman that actually won the award the ceremony is for. Really? They’re just a-ok with that?
