As someone who grew up modern, became yeshivish and went back to being modern, here are my thoughts; Modern orthodoxy tends to include women more in the services/events, whereas the Yeshivish orthodoxy tends to leave them out of most things. It’s called Modern orthodoxy bc they are adapting to the modern world with the Torah. Women couldn’t vote 100 years ago and barely left the house, that’s why it made sense that women didn’t participate as much. Nowadays alot of women are the breadwinners in the family, therefore alot has changed in their roles in Judaism as well. I definitely agree with what “Damoshe” said above about how we interact with the world.
